The Misuse of Good and Well

It drives me crazy when people use "good" where they ought to use "well" and it subsequently angers the perpetrator when I correct them out of habit. Please send me a haiku/limerick that will make the lesson stick! Thanks! -EE

You do things "well," and you may have a "good" heart
Learn when to use these words - now's the time to start
A dictionary will help
Constant misuse makes me yelp
You say it wrong often, so it's no brain fart.
