More Than Mere Alphabets

L has a lamp stand so the night can be seen
M is my mood and its swing in-between
N is now or never, the choices are thin.
O Is oval, same shape outside and in
P was the promise that saved them from sin
Q is qareen, the bad habit of the queen
R is requisite when the rest they don’t mean.
S stands for sad, when purity is unclean
T was a teacher and her penchant to win
U stays under, a choice place for the bin.
V, Valhalla, an abode, like an afterlife inn
W is for wine, the new spirit, soul and gin
X is xanthemia, the yellowness on the skin
Y is you, the place where our story begin
Z is for zag, zig’s cousin.
