The Parts of Speech: A Clever Poem for English Geeks

I know there aren't many visibly-tattooed, bald English teachers of the female variety out there in the world, but if it were cool with educational administrators to hire such an instructor, I would be there in a heartbeat.

Yes, it's true; I have an affinity for words, literature, grammar, punctuation, and the like. Given these fondnesses, and the fact that I'm a sucker for clever mnemonics, I have always loved this poem about the parts of speech. I hope you dig it too.

I love it!! I'm such a sucker for grammar things. The other day I listened to a podcast about whether or not it can be grammatically correct to end a sentence with a preposition. *warm grammar/word fuzzies*
