Grammar Ain't Your Daddy's Mommy

Grammar Ain't Your Daddy's Mommy I've written words both big and small While sometimes nerves get brittle I strained at nouns, and even verbs Assessed each jot and tittle When writing’s done I self critique And scope each application Some days I feel the roof collapse I want a quick vacation There are some words I must insist Be used with awesome care Don’t mess around and fumble these The words there, their, and they’re So even if you get those right There is a little more Those three small words that scramble brains Are you’re and your and yore. When people travel to the country of Homonymiam, can we call them Homonymians?
