Poem: I Use Adverbs, Gladly

A poem about willingly using adverbs. Using them gladly.

I’ll say it softly, wouldn’t want to shout it
loudly. I use adverbs gladly. Why not

use them willingly and sometimes certainly
wilfully. Stephen King said he avoided them

dutifully — and finally the snobs all listened
diligently. If there’s a page to fill and/or

a story to tell, I’m going to do my best
and I’m aiming to do it well. But I’ll also

be using any words I can, even the most
absurd adverbs. I’ll use them gladly.

I’m all about getting the work done. Sadly.
Don’t take this badly. Use adverbs beautifully.
