Some say Shakespeare placed commas
where he meant us to pause!
No right way or wrong way,
he made his own laws.
Rap music also
makes it’s own rules,
though a dash never followed
a full stop in high schools.
The problems with apostrophes
puts the mind in overload,
as confusing as dots and dashes
used in Morse code.
A semi-colon, not a buddy
of an exclamation mark.
High treason committed
when brackets used for a lark.
And when capitals miss-used,
it sends some on a rant.
And are italics just there
to give meaning a slant?
So release all ideas
that into the mind, flood.
Don’t see as a barrier
grammar misunderstood.
For words better written
than left in the head.
Punctuation can follow
when manuscripts put to bed.
No point in an asterisk,
if the other’s gone west.
Thank God this is finished
and now off my chest.
