The Tittle

bunging this one here so i don't lose it again.

((i))

Start with the brackets
Two slender curving slashes
In gentle fluid movements
A double set of sashes
They envelop the i
A set at either side
Spacing is important
Not too narrow and not too wide
In the centre is the i itself
Do not hurry this
Be patient and consistent
Don't be hit and miss
Be straight and true and never waver
Go slow until the end
It should stand tall and proud
Without a single bend
You may think you have finished
And your work here is complete
But you need the final flourish
To find yourself replete

Never forget the tittle
The dot above the i
If this is omitted
You can almost hear them cry
For the tittle is important
And should never be forgot
Don't be slapdash and miss it
Be a scholar and a swot
Be precise when you mark it
Don't be gentle with your pen
Press on hard and be decisive
If you fail, try again
For an i without a tittle
Is just a sorry vertical line
Pay attention to that tittle
The idol on the shrine
Worship it with care
And evangelical devotion
Failure to do so
Will cause unwelcome commotion
