More Than Mere Alphabets

L is the lunatic, wandering, lost,
M is the master of words, Robert Frost,
N is not the last of the holocaust,
O outrageously wants his coins tossed,
P is a pet, you can’t bargain the cost,
Q is the queer queen whose ways are crisscrossed,
R would rather he the father of Maust,
S is the sabbath day and Pentecost,
T is Tina’s rice, averagely sauced,
U is the unusual way her dress was embossed,
V is the vanity we become when we turn to dust,
W is why women’s lips are always glossed,
X is xenophobia, causing friendships to rust,
Y is you, you have lost your sense of trust,
Z is the zero strength you have when, yourself, you exhaust.
