Song lyric parody, per the NaPoWriMo daily prompt.
(For those readers not familiar with the tune, the original can be found below.)

God Bless Grammarians
God bless Grammarians
(folks who love words)
Some are poets and they know it
(When they speak, it’s like Greek; it’s absurd.)
They love word rules
But they’re not fools
So they’re careful what they say
God Bless Grammarians
(it’s ‘we’ not ‘they’)
God bless Grammarians
We’re here to stay!

This was fantastic, very fun to sing, and uniting for us all! ✨
You nailed this! WOW! I’ll never hear the song the same way again.
You clever, clever guy.
If only Kate Smith were still around to belt this out!
Well done. I’ll do the pantoums and leave parodies to you.
Kate Smith was who I thought of right away, too! I think she just rolled over…. 😆
🤣

Love the homage to grammarians. It’s about time they got the recognition, so thanks for being the guy who dared. Excellent.
And heartfelt congratulations on the feature today. Well deserved.
Told ya. Just sayin’ .
Well done, Ron, and congrats on the nod.
We used the same tune, but mine is the English royal version. Nice work indeed
