Im pleased to pass along Roy Castillos Ode to June Sledge. Roy read this at the Open House reception on Friday and it was well received -- to say the least! Ode To June Sledge by Raul Roy Castillo South Houston High School Class of 1967 I never split infinitives. My nouns and verbs agree. My participles dangle not. My gerunds i--n--g. The narratives my pen evokes Are matters of my choice – In second person, first or third, Consistent with their voice. I know when its apostrophized Because I passed that quiz. It isnt always its or its, For thats the way its is. I know this thanks to Mrs. Sledge. And, I am here to tell, She didnt teach me English good – She taught me English well. I think she would be proud of me, The writer Ive become. Iambic tears that honor her..., She might be shedding some. Theres not a single day goes by That I dont praise her name. And shes the first stop when I tour My Hero Hall of Fame.
