The Pedant's burden
At times of stress, you know
before you want to kill,
but after you slam doors
repeat to yourself this
evocation: They may
vacillate but you
insist on time worn rules.
As you calm, look again
to the stupid squiggles
innocently peering
out- a clear sense rotted.
Now your head thumps again,
someone has to say no!
Sadly, you wail in vain
unheard and ignored as
common gutter grammar
kills our Bard's mother tongue.
