CAN WE WRITE THIS WRONG?
Credit: A.S. Flaumenhaft (adapted)

It's perfectly fine to say "on the double,"
But say "on the single," and you're in big trouble.
"Nevertheless," --- we hear it galore,
But don't even think about "neverthemore."
"In the long run," --- that tells about time,
But "in the long walk," --- well that's just a crime.
"Notwithstanding" is always fitting,
But no, no, no to "notwithsitting."
The list of "well-heeled" is often unrolled,
Yet never unrolled is a list of "well-soled."
If facts are "forthcoming," we'd feel better knowing
That sooner or later they will be "forthgoing."
In brief, if "the odds are good," tell me, my lad,
Why don't we allow that "the evens are bad?"
