To the Disbelieving Poet

[Southern Scarab]

Another mistake? Dangit, I know I'm better than that. xD

Actually, this time the "were" was somewhat intentional. Not only does it sound better, but I was sort of aiming for royal plural, like "We are not amused", because, you know, the Word. But of course, I still knew it was sorta wrong (best example of course is the Gospel of John), and now that you've caught me, I'll go ahead and change it.

I thought the singular 'word' was unusual also, but only the second time I read it. The first time I read it in the biblical sense ('the word of god', obviously not a single word being passed on, but a message. 'We have received word...')

It depends on how much you want to emphasize the biblical allusion, really. But don't feel compelled to change it for correctness' sake.

Also, thanks for the read! I thought it was clever, and of course I laughed in the end.
