AMPERSANDS HOW DO I LOVE THEE? LET ME COUNT THE WAYS...

Dear Punctuation Marks:
Yours,

Dear Comma remember when we first met and you just let me breathlessly talk on and on because you could see that I was so nervous and afraid you would judge me and see who I really am inside and yet you loved me anyway or at least I thought you did until I woke up this morning and found you gone? I am lost without you.
Dear Period,
You know me so well. You always finish my sentences.
Dear Semicolon,
Come back -- I would never use you!
Dear Question Mark,
I met your brothers, Exclamation Mark and Quotation Mark. The Marks Brothers.
O apostrophe!
Through you I possess, contract.
"Plop," quote in a quote.
