Summary

Ciao a tutti! Ma anche a voi capitano dubbi di grammatica mentre scrivete? a me si, ancora tanti! Maiuscole, minuscole, accenti, apostrofi. E’ tutto un grande se e ma…

In this our beloved master Rodari always tries to make the task easier with his poems, only apparently silly. I love it!

Enjoy the reading!

Read with me

Once upon a time there was a point
and there was also a comma:
they were so close friends
they got married and were happy.

By night and by day
they went around
always arm in arm.

"What a model couple -
people said –
what a real wonder
the semi-colon family».

As they pass
as a token of homage
even capital letters
became lowercase:
and if someone, then,
she is not quick to bow
the master's pencil
cuts off her head.

What do you think? I brushed up on the uppercase rule, don't forget... lowercase letters go after the semicolon!

Goodnight everyone, with a very strong hug.
