What apostrophe?

(It has a no link to translation, although it has one to general linguistics) I thought it was funny nonetheless.

I love this one -- shouldn't it be: "What's apostrophe", though?

And you'd need an indefinite article with that anyway.

Post title: As it were

To give these superb haikus more pop
Does anyone have a knack
For formatting them in Hip-Hop
Or, a quasi-synonym, Rap?
I hope this comes to fruition
Without too many repetitions
Be assured that, as it were,
There is no need for extra software
Remember, whatever your leanings,
To conserve the meaning.

Jobs are just like taxis,
When you need one there's none,
when you don't they come like crazy.

Money's just like water,
when you're thirsty there's not,
when you're not it comes like flowdy.

Life is just like holy,
When you're in it you're drawn,
when your time comes you're free.

You verse-form known as a Haiku
To be honest I don't really like-u
Only three lines in all
Makes no sense at all
You Haiku should get on yer bike-u

With apologies to those of you who wrote some rather amusing ones, after all.
