The Importance of Spaces

The Importance of Spaces

By Elton Camp

Use of spaces between words is quite vital
This is true in the case of a professional title
“Therapist” became “The Rapist” on a door
By the insertion of just a single space more

“Fashion Exchange” is a resale clothing store
Which sells only things that were worn before
Another, surely used children’s clothes does carry
But, “KIDSEXCHANGE” makes all parents wary

Barbara, Thanks for your always gracious comments. Astonishingly, the second stanza is based on a real store. http://www.scribd.com/doc/50831121/The-Importance-of-Spaces Go there to see the picture. Elton
