I Will Roast His Shall

The poetry of the barbarian
Is grammatically incorrect
The English septuagenarian
Is the one that we all suspect.

In the use of the words of “shall and will”
It’s not just his accent that stinks
He will give you pain like a dental drill
Pretending you know what he thinks

With a stiff upper lip I think he shall
Or should I say “will” drool on his chin
Butchering language with no rationale
And his goofiness makes me grin

Now perhaps I will roast him in a verse
Or shall I put up with this nut?
His language is weird and sounds like a curse
And his “shalls and wills”, come out of his butt

    It may not be the grammarian's friend but it's the best poem in the contest

    This poem leaves me holding my nose
    for fear that this Brit might come near
    It takes all kinds, heaven knows,
    but language of a poet should be clear

    This is another winner.

    Is there any challenge too hard? I wonder what it is like to live during Longfellow or Poe...we have Amera. You are so talented and a joy to read.

    Well, now that 's tellin' em. LOL. I must say, grammatically speaking you most certainly delivered a firm rebuke! Outstanding.
