The Curse of Grammar

The curse of grammar The curse of grammar includes spelling Witches and wizards stewed it from far away They’d like to make your heads sway They used eyes of cats Boiling them in copper pots The refined magic brew is spread as chemtrails Unclearly set spelling rules make us clumsy Uncertain article rules make us crazy Who cares if countable or uncountable? Only people who are grindable or findable My native tangue is Japanese, and I am not a English native speaker. I suffer from English grammar very much.

Felicia, remember that it doesn't matter if there's occasionally an extra apostrophe. Use it to your advantage. Spin the oddities of grammar onto their heads and leave us hanging with a twist that we should have seen coming. Push the odd plurals to their limits. But above all else - write. When you write, you are exposed to the world, and show your unique experiences redemption in poetry. So write. I'll be watching. ~Blue
