Cute one. Yes, we might know correct grammar when we write but when we speak sometimes we really mess up following what we experienced in our home and neighborhood. Reads like a good contender for the contest. Thanks for stopping by my page. Sara

I think that this fun poem is true of many countries around the world. We communicate in many different languages in South Africa, but some of the spoken/written english that i receive on our business emails is sad. English not their mother tongue, Afrikaans is! Poetry wishes, Jennifer.

This is why I don't speak Spanish. I'd sound like your teacher. : )

That sweet, refined and elevated dimension you definitely have and master, dear Nette, as you cleverly and beautifully pen a funny caricature of a teacher who does not master teaching! A great joy to read.. I highly value your poetry dearest.. keep shining. God bless.

Totally amusing especially her quotes. For me , it was a history teacher who messed up dates of important events. I read your compliments. Thank you !
