"In polite discourse," Lindsay corrected
Him, "'Isn't' is preferable to 'ain't,'"
Directed at one suspected of taint.
But grammar advice needs be rejected
By one, faint, pursued by unrespected
Supremacists protected by hoods. Plaint-
ive cries, by no saint, at men who would paint
Him up in tar and feathers collected.
There's a time and a place for pedantic
Turns of phrase but when someone's being chased
By men of evil intent, you can stick
Your Goddamned saccharine laced romantic
Notion of language as a pure and chaste
Idea up your arrogant man dick.
