The ABC
'Twas midnight in the
And every desk was
When suddenly from the alphabet Was heard a loud "Tut-Tut!" Said A to B, "I don't like C;
His manners are a lack.
For all I ever see of
Is a semi-circular back!" "I disagree," said D to B,"I've never found C so.
From where I stand he seems to
An uncompleted O." C was vexed, "I'm much perplexed,
You criticise my shape.
I'm made like that, to help spell
And Cow and Cool and Cape." "He's right" said E; said F, "Whoopee!"Said G, "'Ip, 'Ip, 'ooray!""You're dropping me," roared H to G."Don't do it please I pray." "Out of my way," LL said to K."I'll make poor I look
LL."To stop this stunt J stood in front,
And presto!
LL was
LL. "U know," said V, "that
Is twice the age of me.
For as a Roman V is fiveI'm half as young as he." X and Y yawned sleepily,"Look at the time!" they said."Let's all get off to beddy byes."They did, then "Z-z-z."
