1 The ABCs of Somebody Else
1.1 Old rhyme, new bottle
F, L, M, N...P, O, R, E, G...
Y, I, U...S, X, Q...
T, V, Z and W.
Sure it's new -- but, what the hey!
At least you know your H, A, K!
H and A…? Like 'ai' in 'Spain.'
E, G, P…? Like 'ee' in 'geek.'
J and K …? Like 'ei' in 'reign.'
L, F, N…? Like 'e' in 'hex.'
I and Y…? Like 'i' in 'yikes!'
M, X, S…? Like 'e' in 'sex.'
U and Q…? Like 'ue' in 'blue.
R…? Not unlike 'ar' in 'fart.'
W…? Like 'trouble, nu…?' --
though, why three syllables…? Mon dieu!
I simply have no clue. Do you…?
2 Take It from Me
2.1 Take It in Reverse!
Z, Y, X and W...
V, U, T and S, R, Q...
P, O, N plus M and L...
K, J, I, H (as in 'Hell')...
G, F, E, D, C, B, A.
ABC, but backwards, eh…?
(Demonstrate some flair, some flexes
when you sing your ZYXes!)
2.2 Take It from Center to Edge!
J, Q, I, R, H, S, G...
T, F, U and E, V, D...
W and C, X, B...
Y, A, Z: not Linear B
but just a spiral’d ABC.
2.3 Take It from Here!
P, G, H and T, V, K…
M, N, I and S, X, Q…
F, K, Y and R, O, U…
Z and (lastly) W:
___________________.
(What's ^ ^ ^ ^ here…? A word or two from you.)
Straight stroked: A, E, F, H, T...
straight, as well: K, L, V, Z...
straight, too: M, N, X, and I...
W’s straight, too, like Y.
The rest -- B, C, D, G and U...
plus J, O, P and R, S, Q --
contain one curvy stroke (at least).
(With that, this ABC's song's ceased.)
2.5 Take My Order!
A, E, I, O, U and sometimes Y.
Each a vowel; on that you can rely.
All the rest -- B, C, D, F and G
and H, J, K, L, M…plus N and P
and Q, R, S, T, V…plus X and Z
(and W, the one anomaly) --
are consonants. At last: your ABC.
(Next time, recall: there's more than twenty three!)
