Sonnet 155?

So why do we study grammar at all?

Maybe we just want to sound smart.

First make sure to use the active voice; passive voice can lull.

Use a big letter to start a new remark.

Exclamate to punctuate surprise; you can captivate your reader.

Who instead of he or she and whom instead of him or her.

Be concise and get your point across. Do not let your meaning meander.

If you want to list three things, make sure they’re parallel:

Watching, swimming, managing

I know grammar can be a flop, but it is important to develop

Last comes the most challenging:

Subject-verb agreement is the cherry on the top

So long as you keep this in mind,

So long lives this, and all will be sublime.

Based on Shakespeare's "Sonnet 18"

I parodied Shakespeare's "Sonnet 18" to be grammar rules (found here: http://swagandusage.weebly.com) I followed the same rhyming scheme as Shakespeare's sonnets (ABABCDCDEFEFGG) to emulate his style. I also tried to write with iams, but I quickly realized writing in iambicpentameter is extremely difficult. Kudos to you, Shakespeare.
