~Write Right~

I'm smiling now and saying, 'hi',
Before I blow this mood sky high
My friends, now that I have you here
There's something I'd like you to hear
I find the english language odd
And often find myself quite awed
I sometimes even feel disgust
After the language I've discussed

It really makes no sense you see
That one should see the deep blue sea
Or look up in the sky so blue
And feel a gentle breeze that blew
Some spellings are so hard to bare
I'd almost rather fight a bear
Before he struck me with his paws
I'd simply ask him, 'please', to 'pause'

I WILL say, should you send me mail
Feel free to Fed-Ex me a male
At very least, he'd help me haul
The boxes stacked up in the hall
And please inform when I'm the one
It could be I've already won
I love the english language, but
Sometimes it simply pains my butt

You ask, 'is there some rule you know?'
I simply have to answer 'no'
To master english is a feat
You may find, in your mouth, your feet
Which could, in fact, injure your heel
But, not to worry, it will heal
So, here's the end of my lesson
My goal, confusion to lessen

Thank you so much for stopping by
And, now it's time to tell you, 'bye'



-Vicky L. Raynes

English  language spoken right
can at times be hard to write.
Some many words the same but not
tie foreign tongues in quite a knot.
So many words spoken aloud
if written wrong are not allowed.
When on the wind these words are borne
one wonders how English was born.
What is it changes words when read
to make our teachers mark them red.
As words get washed up on the shore
I realise I am not sure
why I should join this little ode,
or what respect these word are owed.
As poet, I just climbed on board
and maybe leave my readers bored!

Sorry Vicky,

you inspired me to write this piece
and now I'll leave you all in peace!
