To judge from the current round of student drafts, someone has been eating the paste again--or perhaps the phrase "memories of times pasted" refers to scrap-booking. And what's with all the lead in these papers? Maybe lead (the noun) in the paste led (the verb) to the nearly universal inability to spell the past-tense form of the verb lead: today I lead; yesterday I led. Or lead, if you've been indulging in too many memories of times pasted.
This calls for some doggerel:
Don't waste
my time
with paste.
Don't lead
my brain
to read
plumbum
as verb.
It's dumb
to paste
the past.
You raced
to lead:
you led.
(Please heed,
she said.)
