Punctuation Marks
The period is a busy person,
A small round traffic cop.
Who blocks the helter-skelter words
And brings them to a stop.
The question mark’s a little person,
Who’s small but very wise;
And asks so many questions
For a person of that size.
Of all the punctuation folk,
I like the comma best.
For when I’m getting out of breath,
It lets me take a rest.
Quotation marks are curious.
When friendly talk begins
You’ll always find these little marks
Are busy listening in.
The exclamation mark’s an elf,
Who is easily excited.
When children laugh or there’s a shout,
It’s then it’s most delighted.
