The Capital Letter: UPPER CASE My friends call me Upper Case. I'm a capital letter. I'm in your face. I'm bigger. I'm better. I'm easy to see. You can't start a sentence if you don't use me. What else do I do? I'd better mention that I take positions to draw your attention. I send signals for you to sight when you read and when you write. Every proper noun you see begins with a capital letter like me. And, my those nouns appreciate the neat way I abbreviate. Los Angeles becomes L.A. Do you know the words for N.B.A.? Apostrophe Think High Hook when you look at me. Then see my versatility. Taking two words, I'll make a subtraction, and you'll have one word. It's called a contraction. I must confess my strange obsession. I join with "s" to show possession. Now Nora can't claim Peter's poodles, and Peter won't eat Nora's noodles. Contract! Possess! Ah, yes, that's me! I may look like a comma, but I'm an apostrophe! Copyright by Bobbi Katz |
