On English

This poem is written in English

And with commas periods n quotes,

You’ll see it isn’t rubbish.

Although in verse you may wing it,

Contract your words with ‘postrophes,

Them Shakespeares may not sing it.

You could make it easy to read,

Using small words and big s p a c e s,

The mass market you could feed.

That’s the advantage of vernaculah,

All can sample what you’re made of,

Without imitating Dracula.

So I’ll write in this language,

Not because it’s the only one I know,

But for these cool rhymes I can bandage.
