Is that your participle dangling ...there upon the floor? You look just like my grammar, ...have we ever metaphor? Once you were an adjective, ...now you are a pronoun, I ran in a pentameter, ...iambic not a noun, It's time for my sestina, ...oxymoron I've been called, Parsing gerunds on my forehead, ...kerfuffle, going bald, I had a preposition, ...conjugation was my aim, Redundantly intransitive, ...possessive she became, My car is discombobulated, ...did puncuate my tire, Alliteration with a match, ...to meter my desire. Christmastime at homonym, Some eggnog with some synonym, Parsely, sage, rosemary and rhyme, I pay my syntax April time. If odist seems nonsensical, ...sonnets will agree, My object is adverbial, ...Praise be my Simile! |

Tim, I think you just passed english 1A, with a splash of graduate honor's humor, you are a pro. |

CLEVER, and wickedly funny to an x-english 'major'! (No pop quizzes, please!) I usually write stuff better suited to the DARK PASSIONS forum, but I prefer to post here for the levity...Thanx. |

Mike, this poem is Capital! Superlative! Not only that, it makes a lot of tense! I know, I know, it's past my bedtime...time to split infinitives...goodnight! Claire |

Glad you all enjoyed. Claire, would split infinitives with you anytime. Dr. Moose... er... better not respond to your flimsy whimsy. Martie, why didn't I have any teachers respond like that while I was still in school? Denise, suthern, Janet Marie, Corinne and serenity... thank you muchly for the gracious replies. |
