A War Of Words




I think it is perfectly clear,
And there is no need to argue,
So what, I misspelled a word.
That is not such a big sin,
Unless you have a burning desire,
To be right and always win!
What? Now you are mad, why?
Because I used a word,
Out of it proper context,
And I didn't pronounce it right.
Wow, good thing I used an easy word,
To describe how I feel about you.
What, my metaphor was out of syntax?
Well I don't have Spell Check,
Or Grammar Correction in my brain,
You say, “I used a Dangling Modifier?”
“No! Really?” Or, “No really?”
You have got to be kidding me!
Well, it is what it is,
And in the end, I am what I am,
So a war of words begins,
But in the end I will be the one to win.
