Language is composed of adverbs and nouns,
It's the abutment of long and short sounds,
The subject and verb must always agree,
If one would speak as though a bourgeoisie.
"Either," and, "Or," that is always the rule,
"Neither," and, "Nor," is what they teach in school,
The pronoun concurs with its antecedent,
Alas the system seems oft decedent.
And let us not forget punctuation,
Many a time it's caused great frustration,
The comma, colon, and apostrophe,
Have more then once befuddled even me.
A notable wordsmith mayhap I'm not,
And most of the rules I've often forgot,
But I still find solace in my quaint rhymes,
For they're written from my heart and hard times.

Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history!
