I was taught that verbs are active,

so I knew they got about.

You expect some minor frolics,

but not such mucky pranks.

When they told me that they conjugate

I had to look it up.

Then pushed the dictionary back,

before I blushed, bright pink.

It said they're joining gametes,

in a loving, carnal act.

And if they didn't do it,

they would be annulled and split.

You have to call the Pope in

to check that its been done.

Whether they did conjugate,

or if they still are one.

They're much too rude for me to use.

So they are out of bounds.

Now all my work will only be,

with adjectives and nouns.
