And threw an and grenade.
A sentence was exploded.
Was mess a dreadful made.
Ed hung onto his dictionary.
Conjunctions spread and splattered.
Too late he clutched a full stop,
But the parts of speech had scattered.

A message clear, though scrambled.
Ed cowered,
Disempowered,
While artist off the ambled.
