There's nothing as dazzlingly glamorous
As engaging in enterprises grammarous.
The nouns that you modify,
The syntax you codify...
It makes one feel positively amorous!

Based on the suggestion: “glamour/grammar”

These two words come from the same root, originally Greek, but most recently by way of the Scottish word “gramarye” meaning “scholarship” or “occult learning.” Originally “glamour” referred to an actual spell cast on someone, not just glossy lipstick and spangly dresses.
