An English Tragedy (warning: puns)

On my way to post a letter

Out my car Windows

I saw a grammar

Make a dash across the road

In an effort to be punctual

To a function at the TAB.

I skidded my car to a full stop,

Lost control in her direction,

Not in time to avoid my space-bar

I dashed over to find

She was in a comma!

 

Hit with a forward slash

It was a capital offense

I could not escape

Yet I was bold,

Tensely outlined the events

They docked a dot point

off my pen licence

and after bringing me before the keyboard

Sentenced me to a short spell

In a prison pen

(as it was just a lower case).

 

Entering the ward,

I paged the shift nurse

After her line break

‘- Would she wake?’

As it turns out her back space

Will have question marks

But her chances are greater-than most

Her progress is fontastic

For her age bracket

But her colon was disturbed -

 

She may have trouble

                                       with

                                                    her

                                                               vowels.

Just a pun-one, I penned for fun :)

(and you thought I was a serious type)
