Punctuation Personified!
Mind your use of me when making a full stop with finishing your point
This can either overstate or understate your completed thought
I find I mean you no disrespect stating when you are to be done
And undeniably I will triple my point by putting it on and on and…
Purposing a new thought but leaving it to speculate on its finish
Oh reader and poet sorry I am, I mean you no harm, but make a stand to stop
My cousin the semi-colon can stop most thoughts as well with additions to more
But it permits you to unfold many measured thoughts to make your point
Which I do well to end with a stop right then and there if need be to your case
Your written thoughts need clarity and commas to breath before continuing on
But again I mean no ill by putting a full stop finally to a long winded run
My fancy cousin the exclamation mark gives a bold thought notice to take note
He does like to dress things up a bit but it is my period you need in the end
Always please, I am but your most important tool fashioned grammatically
I didn't set these rules used in writing thoughts it was you thought them up
