Punctuation Moron

Posted by threeleafshamrock on March 27, 2009 - 19:01
from the ABC set Humorous Ramblings

It rolls without rhyme
Just ambling along
It’s all out of time
Like a Sex Pistols song
Punctuation is missing
Or in the wrong place
The critics are hissing
It’s a capital disgrace
Should that be a full stop
Or a Colon that’s halved
Is a Comma fair swap
Or am I on the wrong path
Is that an exclamation
Or a plagiarized quote
Would it cause a sensation
Would it stick in the throat
Can I call myself writer
Or a poet as well
Is my future much brighter
Is this heaven or hell
If I write it much faster
Will they read it that way
Will they call me a master
Or frown in dismay
Will they shower with praise
Until I feel buried
Will T Cook be amazed
And give me a cherry
Or should I just give up
And with envy look on
Sip my unrunnethovercup
A punctuation moron

This is brilliant Chris!! I love it ;) Perfect rhythm and it flows superbly. My favourite part:

Is that an exclamation
Or a plagiarized quote
Would it cause a sensation
Would it stick in the throat

Well done :)

Thanks Magic and ax, it's great, not worrying about punctuation; I might just not bother any more LOL ;)

Why should you?
Why? Should you?
Why, should you?
Why! Should you?

Hey, punctuation is good! Otherwise you couldn't do this:

A rebellion against punctuation. I'm in!

Great work, well done.

Made me laugh out loud. Really neat rythym and no punctuation. I think the title is really cool.
