Honor to the Comma
It's something that's often missing.
One must get tired
Reading so steadily without
A break before you've given in
And at the writer you begin to shout
What is so hard about a break
For readers near and dear
There is a really reasonable take
For those who are willing to hear
Give it the little mark
It's not that complicated a task
Just that little comma
It's not that big an ask
It gives a point for the reader to breathe
And take a needed breath
It's something learned in English Comp
That teachers pounded to death
Such little things
So subtle and fine
We're such intelligent beings
Why not use a comma in that last line
It would make it easier to read
Give it such a different context
Just one is all you need
To leave your readers less vexed

From fiction to reality there’s tons to share about this crazy life. From being a single father, an officer, and having had many insane adventures while I learned about the world, my imagination runs wild with ideas.
