Punctuation

I like to see a comma, it lets me get caught up,
And catch a little breath from what I’m drinking in the cup.
I don’t quite get semi-colon, that’s like parentheses.
It goes off in strange directions that one seldom even sees.

I understand quotations. They stand out from the text.
And when I see the first one then I know another’s next.
The period is the final mark with letters to annoint,
And every time I see it then I’ll know you’ve made your point.
