The fear of apostrophe's
Apostrophobia by Roxanna Andrews

When to apostrophe and when to not?
I try to be careful, but I always get caught.

Do Apostrophes have a registered patent?
There's times you should and time you wish you hadnt.

Is it, 'its' or 'it's'? This one is the worst,
I do it wrong and feel coerce,

By my reviews to add or get rid of that cursed apostrophe!
Why is it I can't learn or seem to see?

*Ginger and Grammarly don't even know!
So where is a person for advise to go?

My Apostrophobia seems a case most severe,
When to use one is so frighteningly unclear!

Its so confusing I often just go without,
like using 'should not,' 'it is,' and eliminate the doubt

Life is hard enough without apostrophe fear! So don't, I mean, do not, add to it.
Apostrophobia- forever unsure where that little teardrop should sit.

Author Notes
*Ginger-same as Grammarly-a site that corrects your grammar, sometimes.

Misuse of apostrophe is intentional, I think. I'm not upset at all about being told when to apostrophe, just a fun poem and I'm sure there are others who struggle with Apostrophobia. =]
