Oh, Punctuation Princess!
Missed Connections in Ithaca
I am sure you’re not a snob.
I know I’m not.
I fear you actually can imagine what a disappointment

Thank you for speaking up,
for still having hope,
and for knowing how to use the language.
Best of luck finding your Missed Connection.

Lack of punctuation isn’t always a deal-breaker.
