caps CAPS Caps
some people do not write with caps.
instead, they write like this.
unless they're making a point about style,
something seems amiss.
SOME PEOPLE WRITE WITH ALL CAPS.
IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THEY'RE YELLING.
IT DOESN'T WORK WITH CURSIVE WRITING
AND ISN'T VERY COMPELLING.
The Germans capitalize all Nouns.
That is just the Rule.
But if you don't know a Noun from a Verb,
Your Writing won't look cool.
Some languages don't have caps--
The Chinese (中文) language for one.
But learning thousands of characters
Is more work than fun.
Maybe you want to emphasize
A certain word. If so,
Try using ALL CAPS there:
THIS is the way to go.
In poems we often capitalize
Initial words in lines.
And there's a lot of leeway when
It comes to making signs.
(The president's use of capitals
Is strangely inconsistent,
As though his knowledge of capitalization
Rules is nonexistent.)
Using caps in different ways
Is rising in popularity.
Whatever the case, remember that
The key word is CLARITY.
