The Lyrics
Sitting in the den this morning
The bright sun got in my eyes
And while making fresh banana bread
The dough began to rise.
List'ning to this dreadful poem
Cringing at the grammar
And ambiguity
The bad habits spread to me
Seeing dangling participles
Hearing split infinitives
Turns my brain into a sieve.
And it's clear what I have been thinking of.
These rules could be a myth.
And don't use a preposition now
To end a sentence with.
In a poem that's poor written
You'll use adjectives for adverbs
Gerunds with no bounds,
Impersonal pronouns...
Seeing dangling participles
Hearing split infinitives
Turns my brain into a sieve.
Yes, subordinated clauses
Are stuff we must avoid,
But some people say that grammar
Really makes them feel paranoid.
Like many subjects without objects,
You will search ad infinitum
But cannot find the rhyme
And it's just because it's missing.
And all the dangling participles
Make me stop and wonder why.
They really bother I.
