An Epitaph
IGNORAMUS JUGUM PORCUM
May 1, 1763 - March 4, 2010
Here sit the stone
Below lie the bones
Of a man whose words
Were rarely conjugated verbs.
The number of his subjects
Never matched his action word
But write he did
With abandon, free as a bird.
His only use of grammar
Was to prove what
A rabbit could do
To a log. Pitiful prepositions.
A kreative speler,
A sprinkler of commas,
Was he -- our
Most challenged fellow.
Of rhyming patterns
Or rules of writing
Died he, Witless
But, oh, so blissful.
Mr. Porcum passed to the great beyond, called home so-to-speak, appropriately on March 4, the National Grammar Day, during, a bad, attack, of, punctuation.
