Excellent entry for the Not funny but funny writing prompt contest.
Hehe... your poem is funny. You have a great imagination. I know it's annoying when people have poor grammar skills. I'm pretty good but far from perfect.
Good luck in the contest.

Thank you for your kind review. I love the quote under your name.
Comment from GARY MACLEAN
I'm with you partner. I tend to write reviews that may infuriate the author but hey, follow grammatical rules and I won't have to write. Quote marks one space away from the word, or not there at all, or surrounding words that are not at all a quote. Those things rile me. Then no space between the end of a sentence and the first word of the next one. Or no spaces between paragraphs so it all looks like one run on page. Just run a spell checker of any kind, it'll find your goof ups.
Well written poem on a far too abused subject. And, the poem bounces right along, it reads very easily. Good job.

Comment from WLHall
I can't stand to see these kind of mistakes either. Drives me crazy! However, I'm far from perfect and have made my share of mistakes I like the humor and rhyming was spot on. Cleverly executed! Well done!

Are you now or were a teacher? Or are you playing the part with my challenge? I find it witty and pithy and exploding with satirical grace and please do not grade my piece for poetic license is always allowed by past current and future authors

Thank you for your review. Yes, for most of my life I was an English teacher in middle and high school. I don't grade papers anymore!
Comment from Wayne Fowler
Great work. Great writing. Makes perfect sense.
I don't think you are being fussy at all.
the only question is the sentences. Should they be declarative or compounded?
Best wishes.

Thanks for an excellent review and the wonderful stars!
Comment from Wendy G
Lol. I am with you on the grammar issues. Especially apostrophe errors! I enjoyed your smooth rhyme and smooth flow of the poem. My attitude is that expressing your meaning is more important than forcing your thoughts into poetry rules - too strained usually. Well done. Best wishes.

This was an excellent poem, and I agree with every word. I have my own pet peeves, and you listed several of them here. Thank you for sharing, and keep up the good work. Best wishes to you.

Comment from Fleedleflump
Three cheers for this :-). I get very bored of being told someone wasn't taught correctly, when all one has to do is read in order to see the right ways to do things.
This was lots of fun!

Comment from pome lover
ooo, but you sound most intense .Were/are you a teacher?
My pet peeve is "Where's it at?" I just want to scream. Or "That's where it's at," said on the air by people who should know better.
Your poem definitely makes a good point, but sometimes us "aging" folk forget how to spell things - which I did not anticipate, and I am amazed and saddened by it. (thank heavens for spell check!)
I have a marvelous idea! What if you sent an email to the CEOs of all the major network channels with a few suggested grammatically correct sentences that news people usually get wrong? You could form a committee and have volunteers help. (I'd help) Wouldn't it be marvelous hearing them speak correctly? I'm really kidding, but I wish someone would.
