The Ballad of the Dot

Best Creature Ever

Behold, the rare and beautiful black dot. Dots make their home in cool, dry parchment, usually located near the bottom of sentence formations. Often times, three dots will instinctually join together into a social unit called an ellipses. With this symbiotic relationship, they can utilize one of their strongest natural defenses...passive aggressive remarks...

Sadly, however, these regal creatures are often hunted by humans for their usefulness in writing forum posts, silly emojis, and their opinions. Cruel people will take dots and contort them into weird shapes, like commas or semicolons. Please consider adopting one of these poor, helpless, perfectly round creatures. Remember, every time you use a dot, you take an innocent dot life; it's wrong, so dot do it...no excuses...Period.

 The Poem of the Dot

What a marvelous sight thee is
So fine, so pure
Like a speckle of night

Such in inconspicuous sight
Yet important in meaning
In each sentence

Oh, poor dot!
I pity thee for your
Cruel contortions

Thou has sacrificed
Thyself to aid
English grammar

What a pity it is
To put thee on the paper
And signify The End
