Hello ellajam,
                  i know i'm not the cats pyjamas or the brightest button in the box
but is the punctuation really that bad?

Except for those two commas that need a space after them it's nonexistent.

Punctuation is all those squiggly things that divide the words into sentences.

Give me a minute, I know there's a link around here to a site that explains it, or just google "punctuation", There are lots of sites that focus on it.

It helps the reader understand where each thought begins and ends, and where a pause is intended.

You've already written mostly in fine, complete sentences that would be easy to follow if they were only defined, even with just a capitalized letter at the start and a period at the end.

I think as a writer it would be a good thing for you to learn, then you could choose to use it or not as you see fit, but as a conscious decision for the good of the poem.

If you're just taking the piss, my answer is still the same.
