BECAUSE



Because the law states:  “No because
   may start a sentence in grammar” -
I shall use it often if only to give
   the English more cause for clamour.
Because my license is valid for daily use
   I start with ‘because’ so to speak
and everyone breaks the law colloquially
   so writing it down makes me not unique.
Because language is a bird of freedom which,
   when caged in laws and restriction, dies.
Because you fastidious scholars
   tie bells to our talons and blinker our eyes,
and teach the young your diamond laws,
   I shall certain start with because.
