But when it comes to grammar,
I think that those who use it wrong
Should be put in the slammer.
I’m just a bit fastidious
For verbs not in same tenses,
And writers who skip back and forth
Should come to their right senses.
Reacting rather strangely
To subject-verb mistakes,
I grimace when I see them first,
And then I get the shakes.
I might be too meticulous
For pronoun subjects’ use,
But when they’re placed objectively,
That’s serious abuse.
Words should be spelled correctly.
In fact, it’s necessary,
Hence, I propose that folks who don’t
Be hit with dictionaries.
It’s true I have a hissy fit
For stray apostrophes
When found where they do not belong
Or not found where they should be.
Perhaps I am too fussy,
But when it comes to grammar,
I think that those who use it wrong
Should be put in the slammer.

"For pronoun subjects’ use,
But when they’re placed objectively,"
A good understanding of grammar is shown.
The title, "Just Kiddin'" fit in just because it fit.
Enjoyable reading. Maybe I could enjoy grammar more if I read it out of your "Book".
I like the line about people with spelling errors should be hit by a dictionary.
I added this poem to my favorites. It was full of fun.
Big grin regardless of the consequences.
