This suggestion is from Tom Tracy. (Sorry for the delay, Tom.)
Bad grammar always gets to me. So here's something I just thought of that would be fun to do in the songwriter challenge forum - it must include the following line:
"I LIKES GOOD GRAMMA"

Wow! Nightengale takes the kake with this won! Even if you don't see the lyrics written, and just "hear" it, it still captures the whole aura of what I was going after.
Mucho kudos!

This post is a wee bit related to the original question.... I'm sittin' here listening to Ted Nugent's "Hibernation".....his only instrumental that I'm aware of....
It got me to thinkin', this thread is about language, right? So.....if Ted's guitar, all the screamin' and jammin' audio communication, could be written down, what would it say?

And I Likes Good Gramma © words and music by C. Stewart ( May 21, 2009 )
Never was much in school Helps if you open a book Couldn't take my eyes off teacher Like the way her body shook
Miss hot legs was turned on Kept me after class Said IF I undress her I'd be sure to pass
And I likes good gramma
Her pronouns is small But them looked firm Lipstick was blood red Burn baby burn
And I likes good gramma
Don't know a verb from A hole in da ground But I know seduction When it comes around
And I likes good gramma
I turned the knobs on her radio Liked the sound she made She want to grade my paper She's needin' to got laid
And I likes good gramma
I was propositioned With a preposition My teacher like to rock and roll She got me in a funky James Brown position My teacher like to rock and roll
And I likes good gramma x 2

Hi Jean & Tom
Everything about this is True -- except for the heroine......... I always Wanted her to come to school !!!! - thanks for the challenge
Keep To The Right © joice marie
Jr High Big new school All new students All green fools
Principal has Many strict rules Tall as a Tower A Giant size ghoul
Stands in the stairwell As the boys and girls file Up on the left Down on the right Grabs a kid by the collar Yells, "I said, Keep to the Right ! Dam FooLs--ya don't know nuttin"
He taught us History Made our lives A misery
Quizzes each day Even the gifted Got harassed and stayed Sunken as he shifted
Stands in the stairwell As the boys and girls file Up on the left Down on the right Grabs a kid by the collar Yells, "I said, Keep to the Right ! Dam FooLs- ya don't know nuttin"
No one dared, To cross him Until One day.......
A pretty new English teacher, Took him aside and said "I Likes good Gramma" will you please correct what you say........."
Stands in the stairwell As the boys and girls file Up on the left Down on the right Grabs a kid by the collar Yells, "I said, Keep to the Right ! Even FooLs can learn something"
Keep to the right !!.........

Thanks for posting, Joice. Guess neither the teacher nor the principal are acquainted with good gramma.

Think I'll have another Amberbock As I writes This Song Lost Count of the Others But I Doubt I'll Go Wrong Bein' Highly-Edjurcated I Don't give a Dammer While I write This Song Hey, I Likes Good Grammar~
Dayum, there's The Redish Underline Under Several Words It's Me-Against-The-Robot But I rarely Get-Disturbed That Computer doesn't Know It All, or wad-up My Pajamers So While I Write This Song Hey, I Likes Good Grammar
I Might Use The Wrong Pronoun I Might Use The Wrong Tense But Every Word I've Ever Writtin' Makes Good Sense!
Now, Sometimes Deciphering My Writes Some Folks have Trouble But it's easy as can Be If You are Seein' Double But Do Not Read and Drive, Or you'll end up in The Slammer (Just be sure to tell the Judge) Hey, I Like Good Grammar!
