Grammar
Grammar O Grammar, the English language body armour.
The time of prudence and sagacity, saw your rise in virility, voracity.
The disdain rampant in any day and age, and the sentence stands troubled and enraged
To the elite an acceptable embrace, to the feeble a dejectible disgrace.
From the depths of petulance and plight, to the summit of supreme delight;
Rules consumed to such suitable degree, yet crafted often preposterously.
If kissed hadn't charcoal and paper, what would be of thee?
All that armour O Grammar, would have perished within that of a tree.
- Arun E. Serrao
