Midget Digit The ubiquity Of ‘Apostrophe’ Despite studied grammar In the ‘Grade-School Slammer’ Remains a mystery Occasionally I use it More often - Abuse it Hence A correct sentence Exceeds my limit How must I choose To either infuse As a ‘Possessor’ Or ‘Condenser’ To express my view? It can define a cause Or separate out a clause With double high notes Open and close quotes Or a single comma pause Yet it is all I can do to recall Where should that ‘Midget’ ‘Digit’ Fall - Or be at all? My literary ‘Hopper’ ‘Comes a Cropper’ Ignoring the norm Of considered good form Esteemed as proper
Please do not berate What I create Albeit banal It’s MY original ‘Punk-Chewate!’
