A Bouncing Baby Hyphen
Tiffany-Cherise
Snark-Ponsonby (Tiffy)
And Terence-Rock Smith-Hoogerwerf
(Rocky)
Married and hyphenated
their hyphens
And made sweet hyphen in
hymeneal bliss
And as these things
happen, their hyphen was blessed
The old women of the
parish counted the hyphens
To see if nine or fewer
hyphens had passed
When Tiffy-Rocky were
blessed with a beautiful hyphen
At the baptism they
sprinkled in some apostrophes
For their daughter, Su’mm’er-D’awn-A’pril-Bre’eze
(Who was born in February)
