The sentence is OK, it's the missing apostrophe that irks me!

I hear ya, bro. The apostrophe has been responsible for much human conflict, suffering, and several wars throughout human history.

Well then Fido got up off the floor an’ he rolled over
An’ he looked me straight in the eye
An’ you know what he said?

Once upon a time
Somebody say to me
(This is a dog talking now)
What is your Conceptual Continuity?

Well, I told him right then
(Fido said)
It should be easy to see
The crux of the biscuit
Is the Apostrophe

LOL!

But there was some good to come from the apostrophe. See Frank Zappa’s LP album. Lots of great songs!

PS: Sorry for the LOL! But I actually did laugh out loud! Thanks for that - I needed it. ;)

In other news, I’m almost caught up!

As bad as the apostrophe is, it pales in comparison to the semi-colon.
