A non-PC techical mission that teaches English grammar

Rate: 2 Flag

What The Hell

 

This animal is known in scientifical circles as What-the-Hell and it represents an illustration to the  interrogative pronoun “what.”

 

 

 

Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to come up with a politically incorrect limerick that involves the typical conundrum of a technology project manager, presents a geography lesson and teaches ESL students the usage of the interrogative pronoun “what,” the pronoun used relatively in restrictive and nonrestrictive clauses to represent a specified antecedent—“which,” as well as and the pronoun of the objective case of “who.”

 

Should you fail with your mission or should you decline it, here is an example:

 

A winsome young gay in Khartoum,

Took a lesbian up to his room,

They argued all night,

Over who had the right,

To do what and with which and to whom!
