When we truly feel, quotations seem unreal
Can you put a comma in stanzas of pain and drama
Pour out the soul on paper with no consideration
Should periods put an end to our vexations?
Paralyze our angst and proffer us punctuation
To stall the coming tide of tearful sentiment.
Please give me semicolons to shore up the banks.
Flooding feelings, running over piled pediments;
For the rescuing apostrophe, we give thanks.
Floating far from the shore of reasonous remarks
Ellipses elongate this sentimental lark . . .
Then back we come past fury and frustrating rages,
To a place of calm and peace-enlightened sages.
Order and punctuation prevail in synchronized accord.
Until emotion sways and they are pushed out the door!
