The Question Mark

(Found here)

Poor thing. Poor crippled measure

of punctuation. Who would know,

who could imagine you used to be

an exclamation point?
What force bent you over?
Age, time and the vices

of this century?
Did you not once evoke,

call out and stress?
But you got weary of it all,

got wise, and turned like this.
