The Loopy Grammarian has returned with a silly verse prompted by a discussion on a popular kidlit message board. She’ll be back to ‘splane this one shortly.
Ode to Ing Words (or what would happen if we eradicated all the lil’ boogers)
You would not have the singing nun,
swimming trunks, or smoking guns.
You’d have to give up all debunking,
herding llamas, and spelunking.
Multi-tasking would be over.
You could not dance while picking clover.
Poem prompted by discussion of gerunds on popular kidlit message board.
Hahaha! Awesome. (Or should I say–freaking awesome?) 🙂

Brilliant!

LOL — now I’ll have to go and read the discussion (I bypassed it earlier).

Being a new homeschooling mom, who’s relearning while teaching high school grammar, I appreciate your “Ode to Ings.” 🙂
