Hyphens and Punctuated Whispers are Permissible

All right – let’s settle down:
produce some thing of use;
stop making like a clown –
forgo the fast and loose.

Let’s set a sober course –
avert the random crash –
ride a less volcanic force –
eradicate the dash.

We’ll start a fresh new page;
avoid the bent and swollen;
escape this rusty cage;
eject the semi-colon.

Exclaim! – or question? Please.
Excise bare bulls-eyes too:
“apostrophes” (parentheses)
[and brackets] will not do.

And let us not sustain
sick myriads of dramas
permitted by the evil reign
of periods, and commas.

[Get naked as a buck;
put “virtue” on a diet.
Want to do it? (Rhymes with luck!):
for something’s sake, be quiet.]
