Just poking fun at some common grammatical errors


An editor's grammar is better then most
So be sure as a writer your an eloquent host

If you misspell, the check will catch it
If you miswrite you'll get an editor's hatchet.
Despite the fact that thoughts may flow quickly
The read must be smooth the words can't be prickly.
Using then by mistake when you really need than
Will stick out like writing with the other hand.
Contrast and compare, one different, one same
Commonly misused is there claim to fame.

Whose to say whose fault it is
Except the blame and learn from this

There always right, there pen always red
Don't send them spinning don't hurt there head.
Among an editor's talent, punctuation and grammar
They beat down my dream with words like a hammer.
To many mistakes on the pages I wrote
Got stuck like a lump in that editor's throat.
Rejection letter came, and much to my dismay
We don't publish children is what it did say.
