Grammar Wonderland

Way back when I taught in PA, I wrote a little grammar parody of "Walking in a Winter Wonderland." Here it is, just for shits and giggles...

Frosty Loves Grammar!!!

School bells ring

Are you listening?

In the class

Smiles are glistening

A sentence filled sight

Interjections? Alright!!!

Writin’ in a grammar wonderland

Gone away

Is the fragment

Please revise

Or I’ll send dragnet

To fix your mistakes

We’re raising the stakes!

Writin’ in a grammar wonderland

On the paper we will build a sentence

Prepositions, adjectives, and nouns

I’ll say, “Are you ready?”

You’ll say, “Yes, let’s!”

So let us use conjunctions

or we’ll frown!

Later on,

we’ll aspire

as we write

with so much fire!

Pronouns and verbs

and even adverbs!

Writin’ in a grammar wonderland

In the classroom we’ll commence some learnin’

Labeling and circling words around

In the future

you can be quite certain

you’ll be the greatest writer

in the town!

So much work

Ain’t it thrilling?

Though your brain

It gets a chilling

We’ll frolic and play

The grammar rules way

Writin’ in a grammar wonderland!
