Pull It Sir Prize
I come from way down south
From a small town in a vast land
English seldom came to mouth
But this poem will make a stand
Yew see, my spelling was not gr8
Eet lacked a certain fine fin S
Good grammar came 2 late
Two reach any poetic noblesse
May my spelling not decline
And all ways bee cure rekt
Four I wood not utter a wine
If some 1 comes to check
I took a hole new direction
My grammar now is perfect yes
No need for any correction
From beBee's Grammar Goddess
I am humble butt o so proud
To rite so well is a huge big feet
U C, miss takes R knot aloud
Look a new at the prose you reed
No more grammar miss steaks
When righting a poem or averse
I rite to make all quiver and quake
In words sew stirring and terse
I right away in flourishing flare
Verse, rhyme and rhythm bold
Here is my poem, and B a ware
My eloquent words to hold
Read my prose so Mnintly wise
This, is my Pull It Sir Prize!
A lass…
I still am from way down south
My Inglitch inkorekt and broke
Let me not speak my mouth
Unless it be a masterstroke!

Claire L Cardwell..... This recycled ditty’s still gritty and witty, As kick started off by Ms Claire, I trust that your grammar’s at home with your granda, And Miss Spelling’s gone for repair? But don’t let me blunder and plunder your thunder, I really don’t want us to fight, In this hemisphere, we all speak quite queer, When all’s said and done, “She’ll be right”!

Ah, Aleta - thought that you'd prematurely hung up. No doubt to busily brush up those split infinitives which need attending to? 😂
