Grammatical Precision is Sexy

I found this in [livejournal.com profile] shadow_5tails's journal, linked by a friend of mine. I posted it to [livejournal.com profile] sapiosexual, but I thought the rest of my flist might be interested as well.

watch your tense and case
oh baby
i want to be your direct object.
you know, that is to say
i want to be on the other
side of all the verbs i know
you know how to use.

i've seen you conjugate:
i touch
you touched
you heard
she knows
who cares

i'm interested in
a few decent prepositions:
above, over, inside, atop,
below, around and
i'm sure there are more
right on the tip of
your tongue.

i am ready to spend
the present perfect
splitting your infinitive
there's an art to the way you
dangle your participle and

since we're being informal it's okay to
use a few contractions, like
wasn't (going to)
shouldn't (have)
and a conjunction:
but (did it anyway)

and i'm really really glad
you're not into dependent
clauses since all i'm really
interested in is your
bad, bad grammar
and your exclamation point.

Just saying...

Happiness is dancing with an excited grinning two-year-old to good bagpipe and drum music.

Snake and hamster, best friends. This is like the lion lying down with the lamb, but in miniature.
