Welcome friends, I know you will be most excited with tonight's special guest that we have invited. So, let's give a round of applause and a cheer. Punctuation's star, Exclamation Point, is here.    Welcome.  It's good to see you, Exclamation Point. Yes!  Let's do it, Johnny!  I just got out of the joint! My goodness, I was going to say, you're looking trim. Tell your fans what kind of mess you got yourself in.    I guess I got too excited, opened my yap, and told Comma he's lost, falling in the wrong gap.     I impetuously started a barroom fight, my sentences struck him, with raw power and might.   I'm innocent, but somehow, I stir up commotion. I'm just excellent at expressing emotion! Hmm, tell us about the emotions you can express. For example, what about happiness? What a great question!  Glad you asked it!  I'm ecstatic! What was I saying?  Whatever, I'm emphatic! But was it anger that landed you in the can? Shut up, Johnny, I'll rip your bloody face off, man! I guess subtlety is really not your ball of wax. Do you do sadness?  Yes, I weep and do my income tax! Exclamation Point, it sure has been a pleasure. Thanks, Johnny, I've enjoyed myself without measure! and remember, Question Mark asks, and Comma will pause, but an Exclamation Point thanks you for your applause!
