Comment from pome lover
I'm going to vote for you because that is truly funny -and I do agree 'tis better (ha, an apostrophe) to get rhythm with words rather than abbreviations. Better to use the brain--but I have to admit, I do abbreviate words when I'm trying to indicate the way the person (say a Southerner) pronounces words, like prob'ly.) It sounds more in keeping sometimes.
But I love your entry! Re-dic-a-lous!! and fun.

Lol. Yeah, we all do it. I just had to bring it to light. Thank you for the fantastic review and support, Pome Lover. It actually took a lot of work to do this. If it's read just right it's actually in meter. I really appreciate the gracious stars, PM. I'm glad you liked this silly piece. Thank you again and have a great day.

Comment from Sharon Haiste
I think this is a good entry for the Laughter writing prompt.
This funny verse tells of using the apostrophe to correct metered verse.
Well done and I wish you good luck with the contest.

Comment from Peter Gardner
Very clever and fun. You made us all think for a second or two with each stanza. The words are in our mouth even if we don't see the whole word 'ppear. Apostrophes are gr't, aren't th'y
