For the sake of the fairies

By Stephanie Sideways

It's important that everyone tries
to capitalise their pronoun I's
For when a person doesn't
a grammar fairy dies

When a child writes out the alphabet
for practice so they don't forget,
all fairies are quite safe
( phew, you were worried there, I bet! )

Obviously, it would be absurd
if the i was in a word.
Too many would have passed
7, in this stanza you've just heard

Forgetting at a sentence start,
well, that would stop a fairies' heart
Correct before it's too late
and reverse their cardiac infarct!

I hope now that you realise
you'll never dot the pronoun I's
It's you! so make it count
and save those little lives!

    It really doesn't bother me they much, but because capitalised rhymed so nicely, well that was that. I do it all the time too. But my smart phone is clearly on the side of the fairies. My grammar sucks by and large, but I am trying, ( very trying lol) hope I have only tickled a nerve and no one feels told off! X x x
