'English Language' Poem by Linda Winchell

I could if I couldn't,
I wouldn't if I should.
I wasn't if I wanted too be,
I'm really not that good!

I hadn't if I had too,
I mustn't if I must.
I shouldn't if I should have,
I think that's a bit too much.

I oughtn't to but ought not,
I think'ist if I might.
I don't know where I going with this,
My brain has taken flight!

I think the English language,
Leaves a lot to be desired.
How to figure out where one uses words,
When your brain is so inspired.

I guess I best get to learning again,
To re-learn what I should still know.
About when to use words in my work,
Like shouldn't, Couldn't, 'you know? '

There are nouns, proper and common,
Then there is or(Are?) , collective too.
Then pronouns, like, I we, she, it and you.

There are adjectives, they somehow modify a noun,
Then adverbs and prepositions, conjuctions,
It all seems to me so profound!

I just want to write,
What normally I might hide.
And don't want it all tied up with English red tape,
Restricting my minds words inside!

My words make sense to me, and others', I've been told,
Am I just seeing what I want to see?
Being stuborn and much too bold?

Its' been years since I was in school,
Forgot most of what I had learned.
I was off fighting a war, raising a family,
Working a job for small wages that I earned.

I just want to write, tell the world what I feel and see,
And forgive me of some grammers mistakes,
Which is only a flaw in the realness of me!
