In the land of Parts of Speech
All resolve my yearnings to teach
But indulge in verbal breach
Rendering me an outcast
II
See, they couple by inflections
And I couple by base, no inflections
My lonely sound bounce back in deflections
Because of the addition of ‘s’ to my name; ‘Shows’
III
Now Tables have labels
“All with inflections to the stables”
And I’m pulled among like unwanted cables
And gagged to stifle my lone status
IV
All I wanted to tell
Was I’m like the ringing bell
Ringing without wind. I’m in a cell
Because I seem double in singleton
V
Nouns can never get verbs
If nouns do get verbs
And verbs do get nouns
Words would live in harmony in sentences
