As toys too soon abandoned lay amongst discarded memories,
what fundamental rights have "they", if we abuse them as we please?
I shall defend them with this sword, my cause is that of righteousness,
and truth shall be its' own reward, the English language is a mess!

I hear its' cries for justice drowned, in Southern drawls and street-wise slang.
Y'all be talkin' like yuh's hauled them words outta the garbage, Dang!
Was eloquence a passing phase, condemned to lost antiquity?
En garde, ye screamin' pack-o-jays, ye'll answer for
your blasphemy!

It's "Parry!", "Thrust!", they've run afoul, of I,
defender of the words!
For to defend them I must try, or, drown in gibberish absurd!
This is my cause, a noble one, I plunge myself into the fray!
(In doing so, I'm having fun, imagining what you might say.)

Should I confront you with my sword, this gleaming shaft, ol' number two,
quite possibly you'd think me daft, "Quixotic" I'd prefer, thank you!

Sunshine,
How often I've seen your little ray of encouragement peek through the clouds. Thank you.
Doc
