Grammar, Syntax, Idioms

Most nouns have S as part of nouns’ own souls.

S starts them or may lodge in ampersand

At times.  The nouns are searching for the holes

In meaning.  Nouns prefer a damper sand

That they can penetrate or plain dislodge.

Their verbs are captives in a caesar’s van.

The nouns determine they will leave their splodge

Inside the sentence made of semen, man.

The other parts of speech don’t matter.  They

Are slave of facts and actions.  Adverbs shoved

Around are flimsy.  Adjectives just play

Around the edges, muffled, velvet-gloved.

  The prepositions, wildcard things, are worst.

    They’re furless feral cats, forever cursed.
