apologies to my British friends for third line in second stanza...


Conjugation

English teachers, with professorial elation
Teach their students correct conjugation
They explain how to properly conjugate verbs
So their written creations would be more than just blurbs

"I am, you are, he is" a random sample
Of verb conjugation, an ample example
Though English at times appears British-y snooty
When written with care, it's a language with beauty

Incorrect coupling of words is rarely ignored
They bring to the reader writing abhorred
To create English prose universally desired
Conjugate know-how is for writers required

"To create English prose..." Aye, there's the rub. If we stick to poetry, we may take our poetic license and run away with it, leaving conjugation behind. :-)

Aw, conjugatin' ain't everything.
What sets right with with a man
Is when he knows he done right.
