The mint is rousing incandescent ire

to prompt a famous writer’s Twitter shout,

with grammar nazis fuelling the fire,

because an Oxford comma’s been left out.

 

They’ve struck a coin to honour Brexit day

and that’s what all the brouhaha’s about;

‘cause many of these angry people say

the Oxford comma shouldn’t be left out.

 

There’s just as many say there is no need,

asserting that the phrase allows no doubt;

the meaning’s clear however you may read,

regardless that the Oxford comma’s out.

 

But in the end I ask who really cares,

it’s only 50P and matters nowt;

and in the end they’re only splitting hairs,

because an Oxford comma’s been left out.
