Poor Old Apostrophe

Poor old apostrophe
 
I'm an apostrophe but nobody knows me  
And they dont know where I fit in,  
It's all abbreviations and computer text  
So I dont know where to begin?  
 
Modern people just dont know what to do with me,  
And the youngsters dont know I exist  
Now with all this new technology  
I'm forgotten no matter how hard I persist!  
 
I was useful in the days of William Shakespeare,  
And I feature in many of his plays...  
But were talking hundreds of years ago  
Nowadays I'm in no ones essays...  
 
Even my old mate the full stop  
He too no longer has a place in this world  
It's like people just forget to use us?  
Or their lack of intelligence is revealed.  
 
But I know that I'm still important  
Because professors and scientists still use me  
What is WTF?, LOL? and BTW?  
Think they should all go study a dictionary...  
 
The youngsters probably dont even know what that is?  
So what's the chance for me, the apostrophe?  
The English language is in ruins  
And that's a God damn catastrophe!
