don’t be dashing round <br />oh you so young and dashing dash; <br />so energetic – <br />you just bewilder us all <br /> <br />O dash – <br />what a dash you make for it; <br />O dash – <br />what surprises you have in store <br /> <br />O dash – <br />you’re not connective tissue <br />like the hyphen; <br />but dash - <br />you are a more dramatic fellow <br /> <br />I did use you once, dash - <br />but my sentence tripped and fell; <br />so now when I call on you <br />I ensure I’ve got you tied – <br />like a dog to the leash <br /> <br /> <br />don’t be dashing round <br />oh you so young and dashing dash; <br />so energetic – <br />you just bewilder us all<br /><br />Raj Arumugam<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-dash/
