Why didn't I pay more attention in English class?

I know I'm knot perfect

I Am Not Perfect Contest Winner 

Writing is either fare, or foul, in searching for avowal.
Maybe I wanted fair, but didn't see the airer.

In writing of past tents, It could be outdoor events.
I like my passive choice, darn it, that was my voice.

But I got contrary, after using every Tom, dick, and hairy.
Spell Check says I'm offensive, so I changed it to Thomas.

Now I've lost my rhyming, and screwed up all my timing.
I'm throwing in the towel. Oh, I meant to mispell avowal.

(I just wanted to see who read this far.) :>)

Contest Winner
