The Meaning of Are



Are

The present second singular
Is what I have to say of "are"
And also that it is the present plural
Of another word you see
That word which we know as "be"
A definition that I find infernal!

On account of how it might
Keep me up in thought at night
And leave me in the morning quite undone,
I suppose that I should mention too
It's true the Old English once knew
The same word by the older word "earun".

Another thing to add I fear
Is that an "are" is found elsewhere,
It being a unit of an area
Equal to one hundred square
Meters in metric terms I hear
A system of measuring superior...
