I’m obsessed with words
Well, Pilgrimsoulinme ruined my video because I was going to play a ukulele song the entire time I spoke as sort of background music but no, she had to go and record herself playing the piano beautifully in the backround.
I chose the other option I had which was to write a quick little song on the ukulele (words for your to sing along below).
I absolutely hate doing anything on video so don’t expect this to be alive for too long (I believe most of the reason for me posting this is that I’m jetlagged and it has interrupted my inhibitor function), but if you watch it, I hope it doesn’t lead to an instant unfollow (though I wouldn’t blame you).

Surely you know,
Surely it shows.
Just how much, you’re confusing me.
To what lengths must I go,
To make sure you know,
How to use an apostrophe.
You replace all your e’s with your i’s
And sometimes, I don’t even think you try
To apply the lessons you learned so long ago.
Oh my dear, if you want to be heard.
I’ll be nice and offer you this little piece of advice
For when you write your written written word.
[chorus]
Use spell check, use spell check.
It’s on every computer, so why not abuse it.
Don’t forget your punctuation
Commas, colons, periods, apostrophes quotations.
Be selective with your perspective
Use first or third person, stick with that assertion.
Don’t change your tense, in mid sentence
Try be certain of the when, don’t use both now and then.
And if your sentences are too long, they’re probably wrong.
Oh, I just can’t sit tight
And not set you right
When you, make a mess of the things you type
Oh, I just can’t sleep at night
I must put up a fight
And let you know when your writing is shite.
You say over “there” but spell it as “they are”.
You use “it is” for possessive and that’s going too far.
And I won’t even start on your abuse of ah, capitalisation.
But still, I want to be nice
So I’ll be concise and for the second time, give you advice
On how to make your words entice.
[chorus]
