Only the really good stuff. Like this:

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.

And I will not tell you who that made me think of. You will have to guess.

I've discovered something that I think is worth noting. I know the names of all the SCA kingdoms, even though I am not now nor have I ever been a member of the SCA. So why do I know all of the kingdoms, then? Because someone taught me a dirty song about the SCA that had all of the kingdoms' names in it.

I think that's the best way to teach me something, really, is to put it in a rude song. If there were rude songs about the periodic table of elements, or any other list of things in the world, I'd know that stuff, too.

I guess that makes me a bawditory learner, then, doesn't it?
