(the Comma Man)
Oh, the Comma Man can
(the Comma Man can)

So, yeah. It has come to my attention that it is now 2018. It has fallen on my shoulders to be the welcome wagon for little Baby New Year and/or garrote Old Man Time. But thanks to my close personal friend, the comma, that’s not what I’m gonna do.

First Harvey, now Irma. Leave it to a woman to be forced to pick up after a man, even though an unimaginable gulf exists between them. What else is new?
