Enchanted English Grammar

I’d like to write a preposition soon.

Because my eyes are feeling out of tune.

I’ll roll them up and put them down

I’ll send my specs into the town

And then I shall soon see Siegfried Sassoon.

I’m amazed at how much grammar I’ve forgot.

………All periods,full stops and those little dots……………………….

I think I’ll stick to commas now,

And cut out all the rest somehow,

I might persuade myself it’s worse than anything with spots,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I feel ashamed of English being ill writ…

Even though I do possess a wit.

If only Ma had given me two,

I do believe I could make do.

I might have got a job as a Lit. Crit.

I once met Dr Leavis by a lake;

My boyfriend was there studying his mistakes.

He mentioned Hamlet more than once

I stood there and looked askance.

So Dr Leavis asked me could I dance.

I don’t know was it could or would or should?

The music was not playing in the woods.

I stayed real quiet,

On my word diet.

Yet Leavis was more pleasant than soap suds…
