Morphing

I was driving to see the reigning queen And gave my horse free rein. We passed our turn, as we flew past, I felt a searing pain. Awakening half-past the century, I found everything had changed. The citizens speaking so queerly, I thought them all deranged. The kindly doctor said, "My dear It is your advanced age. The perfect grammar that you leaned Is in its morphing stage. Past and passed have been co-mingled, As has also rein and reign. You will find there are no differences In vane and vein and vain. Grammar that would once have caused A teacher to unglue, Is acceptable. Just google it. You'll find I'm speaking true. By: Joyce 2/28/11
