The adverb now is out of date

Obsolete and what we hate

No longer added to make it better

Slash it, write it a Dear John Letter

Once sought and used for HOW? WHEN? WHERE?

No longer needed, we just don’t care

Poor Adverb! Once a modifier

Now no work, we cannot hire

Not slowly, brightly, or uncontrollably

Not succinctly, proudly or simply horribly

The adverb now is shunned and hated

It’s sad demise so underrated

Avoid all adverbs! This you must do

To the worthless helper we bid adieu
