    apostrophes


    Apostrophes
    by Dianne J. Beale

    We possessives are a tricky lot...
    Do we need apostrophes or not?
    His and hers, yours, ours and mine
    Plus her, its, your, and my are fine.
    But the cat of the boy becomes boy's cat
    While splat of the milk becomes milk's splat.
    And it is raining is not possessive
    Although it's raining might seem successive.
    So careful with those apostrophes--
    Their many uses sure can tease.
