Alphabet poem
Hey gang, after buying a book called "Alphabet Avenue" at the library bookstore (they only wanted $2 for it. Must be because it had writing in it.) I feel like a wordplay mood. So I've constructed what I call "The Alphabet Poem." Each letter cannot be used unless the one before it is before the letter in the alphabet. So, for example, I cannot use the word "aback" to begin, because K isn't right after C. This also made a problem for Q. I couldn't use a normal Q word because U isn't right after Q, and Iraq was out of the question because R is after Q, not before. So I decided to use the word qadi, which is in the Scrabble dictionary. It is a Muslim judge. The end was quite easy, the beginning was hard. And by the word "abba", I don't mean the band, I mean the title of honor (meaning "father". Jesus used it.) And, it rhymes! And, it makes (a little) sense! So, without futher ado:
Abba! Cab!
A bad dab
Bade a fad.
A cabbage had
A hijacked lad,
He made no pad.
He, a qadi, rests under views
As Texans yawn at nearby zoos.
