| Question Mark | |
| By Crayfish | ||||||
| 17 May 2006 | ||||||
|
A question mark is a coily thing,
That makes a sentence weak and thin,
It throws the words up in the air,
And leaves the speaker standing there,
Wide-eyed, trembling, cold and bare.
A question mark looks better in pencil,
Sounds like a rising scale,
Tastes like … a whistle?
Can be a treacherous hook,
Sharp and pointy with a sinister look,
Or could be made of a malleable wire,
Passive or even red-hot with fire,
Or a question mark can look more like an arrow,
A path to the answer, more straight than narrow,
Than if we had avoided it,
Because of its shape, its feel, its grit.
A question mark makes you think,
It makes you stop, pause, swallow, and blink,
A question mark is more than the digestion,
That statement was in the form of a question.
