I'm sure that she'd want me to point out that there are some
punctuation errors in that limerick:
A poet, a venerable Ms.
At punctuation was really a Wiz.
But the wrong use of it's.
Would give her the shits.
Hurrah, it's official, it's now 'tis!
Line 3 should be:
But the wrong use of "it's".
Line 5, depending on your intentions, should be one of these two:
Hurrah, it's official, it's now "'tis!"
Hurrah, it's official, "it's" now "'tis!"
P.S. Line 5 doesn't scan all that well.
Clearer than any X-ray,
Such an apostrophic art,
In profile, much like a chart,
I here, my thanks do convey!
Line 5, to my eternal dismay
Should've been,
Not hurrah,
But who? ray!
