APOSTROCOMMA
By Akinyemi Bliss (MiCi)
Apostrophes are up
Commas are down
You are the boss
And I am the maid
It’s a world of YOU and I
A world for YOU and ME
I am the street’s cobbler
You are the shop owner
I am just a fish seller
You, my fish buyer
Your grass cutter, that’s me
My salary payer, that’s you
I depend on your money
You rely on my service
I am your handy man
You are my saving grace
You are the Doctor
I am the tailor
You are the teacher
And I’m just the cleaner
You know the rules of law
I know the laws of bulbs
You know what I don’t
I know what you don’t
We are meant for each other
Not to itch the other
So, please I pray thee
A few kind words to make my day
And gifts of smiles to lit my night
When I toss on my mat thinking of you
My heart I give to you
My smiles I share with you
You live to make impact
I survive to make same
It’s a world of YOU and I
A world for YOU and ME
You are my Apostrophe
I am your comma
Together,
we are APOSTROCOMMA.
