Ode To A Comma
Comma, oh comma
 You are in everything
 The animal was a pink llama, 
 But he did not sing
 
 Comma, oh my dear comma
 You separate different clauses
 Without a lot of drama
 He’s writing, but then pauses
 
 Comma, oh dear comma
 You separate unneeded info
 With his special mama,
 Who loved to dance and sew 
 
 Comma, oh dear comma
 You let us take breaks
 When we are in our pajama
 And don’t want to wake
 
 Comma, oh my dear comma
 You help sentences beginning with adverbs
 While talking to the God Rama,
 The children ate some healthy herbs
 
 Comma, comma, oh my dear
 You help separate introductory words
 Johnny, I’m over here!
 Or “hey, you guys are nerds!”
 
 Comma, comma, you’re my preference
 You help separate words together
 Cloudy, sunny, you help me in reference
 When I am trying to get the weather
 
 Comma, comma, you help me
 When using clauses with the word not
 I like Bill, not Pete
 Or I will learn, not get taught
 
 Comma, oh my favorite dear 
 When there are interruptions in a thought
 This animal, as you see, has fear
 The people, as you can tell, fought
