Ecthlipsis

Speech me once more
Those tireless phrases;
Many a time and oft
Have i awoken to their
Shy cadences tumbling
From your lips verbing
The dawncrack and
Making me transitive
Spilling gerunds and
Ablatives hither and yon
Urim and Thummim
Ear rim and thew limb
I happened to be parsing
And noticed that one of
Your prepositions was
Dangling as luck would
Have it we have just
Finished a big job
And have a load of
These tildes and hyphens
Left over we can let you
Have them for a pony
What say you ?
Very well we will
Throw in a gross
Of apostrophe's
Brand new never
Been used
Cant say ferrier
Than that
