ODE TO THE APOSTROPHE

(An acrostic poem)


By Josie Whitehead

Ode to the Apostrophe

A    A poor and oft forgotten friend

P    Put on this earth, but to what end?

O    Oft despised and viewed with scorn

S     So little loved, we soon might mourn.

T     To you who look condemned to die

R     Rise up and fight – don't sit and cry.

O      Oblivious of your situation,

P       People just need education.

H      Here's hoping we don't say farewell -

E       End his abuse and wish him well.

 

       Oh  - And from an early age, may we

 

 Learn to love the apostrophe!
