WhatWhyHow???

This year, I set myself the foolish task of trying to write something every day, and what you see here is the result. None of this is finished, polished, or in any way good. It's usually a few lines at the end of the day when I'm tired, my head's broken, and this nonsense spills out of it onto the page. Feel free to comment away, and if you think anything has any potential then let me know and I might have a go at working on it further.

But hang on, where's the first month? You've ripped us off! I hear you say... Well, yes. I have been writing since the beginning of January, but it's taken me a while to get the blog up, so everything here is a month old.

interrobang

Punctuation did not appear
Fully formed upon the page
It evolved like any glyph
Through the years from age to age
I refer you to the question mark
An abbreviated 'Q' and 'O' 
Short for 'quaestio' or 'what' 
To show something you did not know
The exclamation mark, or bang
Had a similar 'mode d'emploi'
Formed from the letters 'I' and 'O' 
From 'io' the Latin word for 'joy'
