Hate to break it to ya, but you used the wrong homophone. "Stationary" is an adjective; "stationery" is the noun. Nice concept for the parody, though; I like it.
Something wonderfully zen about this, Stephen. Loved it! 555
What Police and Kristof said. 5s. And I'm not making this up: I once encountered a stationary engineer who had a patch on his jacket reading "stationery engineer."
Dear Homonym Police, that's how it was spelled on english subtitles on a DVD I have at home(in describing school supplies), so either they messed it up or the dictionary is wrong. I use the library internet and don't a have own a dictionary at home, so the DVD was the only source I had when writing this parody, it's a word I haven't really used, and please use your real name instead of "Homonym Police", I want to know it from the real person. Thank you Kristof Robertson and John Barry, for your votes and comments.
DKTOS but good rhyming and what Kristof said. 5s
Thank you Red Ant! ^__^
Well done on the song, I enjoyed it. Just ignore the boneheads who waste their time writing comments about "homonyms" and decades but not the song itself.
Thank you, Jeff Reuben! Mr. Critic, you need to find something more constructive to do, you're boring me.
Okay, I saw your "revised" parody. Or is it "revized"?
Well, it wasn't a revised parody. But instead a parody inspired by those grammer police posts. I'm surprised they didn't comment on it.
