the angry exclamation point,
feeling restless and confined,
rolled it ’round in his narrow mind
and decided he could rule the joint
‘he’s big! he’s strong! he’s like a tower!’
commas, periods, all agreed
‘a sign like this is what we need!’
and so they brought mister point to power
he despised the inquisitive question mark
‘what a crooked, crooked sign!’
she’s a phony, an elitist, not our kind!’
and sneered at her wide inclusive arc
‘all question marks are hereby banned’
he declared off the bat to wild acclaim
‘now… just believe all that I proclaim
’cause mister point’s now in command!’
