ELLIPSIS LANE
A mother had a daughter that
She named, Ellipsis Lane–
An awful lot like Lois, but
Ellipsis was not sane!
Instead of chasing Superman,
Ellipsis chased the sun.
The girl could never catch it ‘cuz
That meant she would have won!
Ellipsis, as you likely know,
Are periods, in line–
Exactly three, like, dot, dot, dot–
A punctuation sign
That indicates a trailing off,
A silence, never solved,
An emptiness in what comes next,
Denouement, unresolved!
So, poor Ellipsis lived a life
Of dreams that turned to fluff.
She started with conviction, but
She couldn’t finish…
