These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Greeting Card: "Well-Versed"

I know it's time to write a thought,
although you could have writ it.
That's what the teacher thought she taught,
though participles split it.

We have the right to make it known
through writing rules or dangles.
Just tippy tap laptop keys or phone
so sweetly said or in jangles.

Express it fast or speak it slow,
but don't be ever pokey
or celebration food we know
is overcooked and smokey.

Now, praise we all these writer's words
on holidays invented.
Well-written or just "for the birds,"
there's joy in the demented.

Happy Write Right Rights Day!
Established July 7th, 1934, unbeknownst to anybody but me.
(0.7734 on old calculators reads,
"hello" when you turn the calculator upside down.
Gotta write it right.).
