The most erroneous mistakes truly begin
With a slip of the tongue or a slip of the pen

A comma out of place, an accent to thin
Makes you a saint ridden with sin

Just the wrong word in the wrong ear
Deciphered astray can make you pay dear

A quotation unquoted a period missed
Makes you culprit or a cheek to be kissed

Too much alliteration to little rhyme
You're a policeman on trial explaining your crime

Mispronunciation due to a lisp
Is mouthed by a babe with enunciation to crisp



The littlest word only slightly misspelled
You're on the highway to heaven with a U-turn to hell

French is fantastic it goes great with wine

Greek is real classic but too hard to rhyme

A fast talking Jap is hard to understand

Yet the yen's a commodity that's lost some demand

The Germans put out Mercedes-Benz

The language too gutteral the car just a trend

Someone else's diction mixed with some else's style
Will give you a mere metre that takes you many a mile

(chorus)
I put my case to rest
English is the best
It is no mortal sin
Be it the tongue or the pen
To make a little slip
But here's a thoughtful tip
THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK

The Pro and Cons of the English language (Think Before you Speak)
