How beautiful my spaces gleam
When I sit down to write
My e-mail on computer screen
Then one thing comes to light;
Parentheses, parentheses
I use them way too much
I think they're good, and so I would
Use them for such (and such!)

So when I write about a thing
And I elaborate
And I divide with "[ ]" inside
And "{ }" to separate;
Parentheses, parentheses
I use them wrong I know
But say "So what?" And in my gut (Note: or, "And then I got" ["got" with a different inflection is a more natural rhyme for "what" {as in "so whut?" and "my gut."} ] )
I know that it will go.

I know that one's a bracket
And I've used for quite a while
The half-a-square, whose name's not there
For e-mail seems my style
Parentheses, parentheses
I use them way too much
But think they're good, and so I would
Use them for such (and such!)
