Comma Coma
COMMA COMA
The difference between a cat and a comma, as you know,
Is that one has claws at the end of its paws,
While the other has a pause at the end of a clause,
But let the comma not be confused with a coma,
Sometimes induced in my wife from my socks’ aroma,
And never confuse a comma with an apostrophe,
For in this competition it would be a catastrophe,
And, as we all know, a comma sits on the line,
But an apostrophe floats up in the air just fine.
When you reach twelve commas, it’s time to go.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. .
