Apostrophe, The Secret Key

by DragonSkulls

                    So simple are the sonnet rules to bend.
                    Eliminate what letters you see fit.
                    Apost'phes are the fix I recommend
                    to craft a work of art that seems legit.

                    Just man'pulate the words like molding clay.
                    The syll'bles then will fall with grace and ease.
                    So skillf'lly mask the flaws in your display
                    while proudly showing off your 'bilities.

                    But here is where a turn's suppose to be.
                    Undoubt'ly I can't offer such a ruse.
                    For I find joy in my own hyp'crisy.
                    While know'ngly I should turn but I refuse.

                    The sonnet's cryptic ploy long overdue.
                    The sland'ring learned today, my gift to you.

Sorry, I was just in one of my goofy moods today. The pic was just something I
found on the web that I thought was cool. No meaning or value, just something
different.

Here's the rundown:
Apost'phes - Apostrophes
man'pulate - Manipulate
syll'bles - Syllables
skillf'lly - Skillfully
'bilities - Abilities
Undoubt'ly - Undoubtedly
hyp'crisy - Hypocrisy
know'ngly - Knowingly
sland'ring - Slandering

If any person reading thinks this is directed toward them, get over yourself.
It's not. We all do it. I'm just over exaggerating, using ridiculous words so some
folks might get a little chuckle out of this silliness. Just goofing around.
Thanks for reading.
