Hello My name is Sinfull and I'm punctuation perplexed
that's not the same as stupid - it's confused, unsure and vexed
I know I learned in high school but I guess I've just forgot
cuz ya'll are quick to tell me every time I skip a dot
of course the sentence ends there duh that's why the words just stop
you really need the dot there acting like a traffic cop?
and come on with the commas that politely ask us pause
a gloved hand held to chest while comma hinders hems and haws
and if I want excitement you will read my exclamation
while with wicked rhyme I quicken time for your heart palpitation
and do it in a way that you won't doubt there's perspiration
drippy dripping from your face without a comma's hesitation
just dont expect a dash to show I've left to get your medication
you can quote me on my words if that will help clarification
so class I pause uncomma'd to assure you one and all
I meant to typo dot dash hyphenate with little heart-shaped ball
