But they’re key-mates with blocks, and brackets are just bent compared to them!
What are these called anyway: <> ?
of course it must be the tilde…
to say otherwise is a redundant denial and is actually an affirmation…

Semi-colons because no-one really knows what the fuck they are. And this:
‘…?’
Which is my own invention.
I think we’re being somewhat rash
For nothing’s better than a dash
And depending how you’re rollin’
It’s also quite the dashing colon
And something that I learned from Momma
Is that it serves well as a comma
And words you need to separate
Will do so if you hyphenate
(I know a hyphen’s not a dash
But let’s not let facts spoil this bash)
In short the dash is your best friend -
Least 'til a sentence finds its end
I’m going to kill myself - now.
I just don’t think curves in anything, including punctuation, is manly. I even find myself arounds by question marks. And paretheses seem, dare I say it, homoerotic.
Dashes have no curves.
Semi-colons for pretention, em rules for confounding and ellipses for any and all circumstances…
-Awesome-
Not the killing yourself part - per se- but the rest of the poem.
Do you want us to take up a collection for some Hemlock?
Thanks, Lite - but I have the means readily at hand at all times.
I don’t know what happened. It just came over me. I’m not really like that.
Be back in a couple of minutes. I just noticed that my stuffed animal collection needs rearranging.
Faust, at least you are one up on Socrates…he had to rely on his friends to get him his dirt nap drink.
Exactly, I like my ladies curvy! What’s this manly stuff you’re referring to?? …and we’ll just nevermind my moustache reference…
Exclamation points, slashes, dashes and even the heading towards limp solidus are masculine.
it goes without saying what the colon is.
Semi-colon;
Welcome back to the boards Andre. 
Semicolon;
Semicolon followed by a dash;-
of course this brings up the question…
how do you haul ass?

I like brackets, I feel like I can write more casually inside brackets, it gives me some time to distress. Brackets are the shoulder massage of punctuation.
On another note, I hate punctuation, because I’m rubbish at it. Damn you dyslexia!
then a closing bracket to make a winky face? ;- )
