BROMANS means a strong, loyal friendship between men without romance.
Two teammates who support each other, share wins and failures, and stay close through challenges.

To Be or Not

My professor of English, you see
Didn’t like how I used the word ‘be’
She made me make peace
With the grammar police
And a light sentence they gave to me

A 3d #PunctuationDay #Limerick:

"Exclamation points ought to be rare,"
Said a writer, who'd forcefully share
All his adamant views
Which, unwelcomed, drew boos.
"Use them sparingly! Better yet . . . ne'er!"

A #Limerick for #PunctuationDay:

When you #punctuate, please don’t be rash.
Over-use can turn prose into ash.
And a #comma misplaced
Lays your writing to waste.
Mark my words … or your readers shall dash.
