They don’t know how it happened!

What do you mean? They have no clue?

Too many questions, all at once

Left them in a terrible stew!

Seems Colon missed a period

When Ellipsis…. had one too many

Apostrophe kept things together

When Comma hooked up with Semi

But when things became diacritical

For those poor, dear Punctuation’s

We cried, “Just hyphenate, til you dilate

Contractions will be your salvation!”
