I’m pressed for time this week, so thought I would re-post this ditty from April 2018. I still struggle with the crazy thing from time to time, but it’s no longer my kryptonite. Who knew a teeny-tiny punctuation mark could cause so much grief? Enjoy!
The Odious Apostrophe
Apostrophe, Apostrophe,
or should I say catastrophe?
You make me nervous, angry, mean,
You’re Satan’s punctuation scheme.
I put you in and take you out,
Confusion reigns, along with doubt.
Unlike the period or comma,
You thrive on messiness and drama.
English would be much less rotten,
If you could only be forgotten.

I'd love to hear from you!
