Dotting I's and Crossing T's

I come from a family of high dots We did the same kind of things We look alike but they call me the underdot Then I was used like a common comma Like I could not make a statement Calling my brother the distinctio working with clauses He is their center but I think he is just an interpunct Do I have the right to question I think yes and that is the bottom line Invaluable to computers at .com everyone knows me I go on excelling in math They call me the radix but they use my real name in their rings and rows My point is without me there would be no decimal point and I also work at times with foreign languages They seem to understand me better than my own family who just belittle me I think I will confront them and make a full stop of this Tell ya the truth I think this will be a maturing point for me in around about way For I am used more than all the other marks Period
