Elton Camp Poet Rhyme

The Grammar Nazis Will Get You

The Grammar Nazis Will Get You

By Elton Camp

The grammar police are on patrol
Writings they seldom will extol

For how can they possibly commend
A preposition at a sentence’s end

Your write they have so much hated
For it violated a rule now antiquated 

Should a comma be put out of place
They react as if it’s a major disgrace

If a spelling error you should make,
It’s, “Oh my, for goodness sake!”

To show their victims that you care,
Comfort with, “There, they’re, their.”

"It's" v. "its" is often wrong as is "fewer" v. "less." On a church sign here I once saw, "Except Jesus or Die." Elton
