As I am sure you know, -ly adverbs have gotten a lot of bad press. Thought they needed a break, so I let a couple out of jail. Be nice to them, okay?

I am the poet who did not know it. Who, if you must know, scoffed. What's with the scanning and moaning? I thought. Why is dishwater held aloft? Teacher bows hourly to King Grammar. Twin throne props a nodding Memorize. I develop a painful stammer. Glaze coats hormone-challenged eyes. Poems were chosen from a syllabus lest young minds fill with ideas. Didn't take to deodorized lilies, silly us. Expect to graduate, freeze! Sadly, I listened badly. Sadly, Badly was the royals' tool. Now here I am trying madly For poems as good as the royal fool's!
