The Period, by Richard Armour

Fat little period, round as a ball,
You’d think it would roll,
But it doesn’t
All all.
Where it stops,
There it plops,
There it stubbornly stays,
At the end of a sentence
For days and days.
“Get out of my way!”
Cries the sentence.”  “Beware!”
But the period seems not to hear or care.
Like a stone in the road,
It won’t budge, it won’t bend.
If it spoke, it would say to the sentence, “The end.”
