Phrasing For Fun

Hello! I taught Gregg Shorthand for years (20+) in a secretarial science program at a two-year college. I still use shorthand ALL the time. My favorite lesson was teaching phrasing with this poem ... how many phrases can you make?

I'd rather be a could be, if I could not be an are

For a could be is a may be, with a chance of touching par.

I'd rather be a has been than a might have been by far,

For a might have been has never been, but a has was once an are.
