​Dash
 
You’re a pencil little slash.
You’re a dash, not more than a comma.
It’s not right to write too fast.
Chase today, gone tomorrow.

Book if you must book, and go.
Read when you read, and slow.
 
It’s not right to write too fast.
But even a pencil little slash
Must make her common mark.
Now let the present be– and go dash!
