Way To Teach the Right and Wrong Way
Here is a lesson I just learned
And gladly hopefully in future
take on board
That in regards to teaching and wishing
to correct in order to improve
There is both a right and wrong way
To tell someone that person what
they had done wrong
And also how they then may be able
to correct it
So speaking personally and only on
behalf of myself
I would ever so sincerely like to give
my eternal gratitude and thanks
To S . E for teaching me the value
of this lesson
Then thereafter it is solely down to
i
If I then choose to carry on regardless
blinded however misguided that may be
Because I cannot bare the thought
I could never not be deemed correct
And this i often think is why sadly
more often than not
My poems and what I write because it
is so littered with basic elementary
grammatical and error strewed mistakes
Those who are both blessed and proficient
in English find my poems barely able to
read let alone finish
And yes to this fact I am patently aware
and willingly have to hold my hands up to
and truthfully admit
Unfortunately though I can't rectify what
I don't know I am doing wrong however
incorrect
As I only just recently found out at the
grand old age of my 40 odd year's plus
I have found a fondness for and like
writing which I never knew let alone
contemplated I would
Because if I did then just maybe I would
have tried and payed more attention at
when
When my English teacher was trying her
level best to teach me how to write
And why almost all of my teachers used
to say of me I would never amount
to anything
And technically they were half right
As if nothing else
I am a halfwit
Who still can't and never took the
time to master how to read or write
