Apostrophes

You think you n’eed apostrophe’s,
Here and o’ver there.
You e’ven n’eed them as you r’ake
The d’ead li’ce in y’our hair.
You n’eed them as your’e out
D’evouring metal’s on the beach’es,
You n’eed them while you p’eel and p’oach
And b’oil down your peach’es.
You n’eed them when you aim the b’lame
R’ight at one of your friend’s.
Too bad no more apostrophe’s,
Youv’e used th’em all by then’s.
About the Contributor
Lauren Nagy, Editor
Lauren is a senior at Freehold High School, eager to be entering her third year as a writer for The Colonial's literary magazine and her second year as an editor. An avid reader, she is also a multi-instrumentalist and enjoys knitting when she can find the time. Despite her place in the Medical Sciences program, she foresees a career in neither medicine nor science - and would rather study English, creative writing, and music in college. If she wrote a novel that one day became a widely beloved classic, that would be pretty nice too.
