Grammar got run over by a reindeeron the Grammar Girl podcast made me laugh out loud when I heard it.


Grammar got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas Eve
You can say there's no point to good grammar
But as for me and Mignon we believe
 
She'd been drinking too much eggnog.
Had she drank or had she drunk?
With all her sentence fragmentation,
We'd all told her that her sentence structure stunk.
 
She was so very, very angry!
She figuratively stormed right out the door.
There were quotation marks around her
We kept wondering what those silly marks were for.

But as for me and Mignon we believe
 
Hopefully we'll all find grammar
On whom our writing does rely
We may start struggling with pronouns.
Is it you and me or is it you and I?
 
It's not Christmas without Grammar
We just don't do nothing correct.
And we just can't help but wonder
Are we feeling the affect or the effect?
THE EFFECT!

Now the podcasts's on our iPods.
And our ear buds in our ears.
We'll be listening in weekly
So we can point out grammatical errors to our peers.
 
We've warned all our friends and neighbors
Better listen for yourselves
Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing
Is better than any books on your bookshelves.
