An excerpt from "The Return of the Subjunctive" by Tamara Madison (that's Tamara on the right) Oh, the Subjunctive, May it make its bold return! May it ride back proud In liveried coach, May its two fine horses snort And paw the ground, And, escorted by its staunch Attendants If and Whether, May it descend in velvet cloak And black-gloved hand The lacquered steps of hope And happenstance.
