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 |
