A is for 'A'! Letter I

"I is for 'I'!"
As egos vie,
each gal 'n' guy
feels (s)he's the fly-
est person.
"'The Most'...?"
Well...my 
reposte goes "I!
If not, why ply
this versin'...?"

A rarity: a pic of me,
le bel esprit N. Smithe-Magee.

A is for 'A'! Letter H

"H is for 'H'!"

     N
taste, no smell...
nor none can tell
its hue. (Is't yel-
low stuff...?)
As H it's known.
(This table's shown:
the world can't own 
enough.)

A is for 'A'! Letter C

"C is for 'C'!"
  When-
ever youse 
would croon a blues, 
be sure to choose 
Duke's;
     plus, 
guarantee 
its key's in C -- 
lest earn you stern 
rebukes.

World Heritage Fruit, Vegetable & Cereal Grain Architectural Sites in Verse: The Wheat House

I.
   Comes 
word you've ne'er heard of the house built of 
wheat.
     Pols and 
pundits who have even call it The 
Wheat House.
     Its 
tenant's a liar, psycho, 
cheat,
     a mo-
lester of women -- in short, com-
plete louse.

II.
     He 
herds his "good words" into long-winded 
tweet-
     storms he 
Twitters most morns from the bowels of The 
Wheat House.
     Thrice 
wedded, he's pull'd an espousal "three-
peat,"
     though each 
bride "Blondel" beds proves but one more ef-
fete spouse.

III.
     Yet 
sleepers awake! Patr'ots take to the 
street
     to pro-
test this tycoon -- nay: tyrant -- of The 
Wheat House.
     Him 
(guilty as sin) they'll soon rightly un-
seat --
     less a 
man [plus his kin!] than a now-obso-
lete mouse.

IV. 
     Let's
do it! (A Weatherman's victory
sweet.)
     Ah-h-h-h...but
how...? Must we now this wimp's fam'ly with 
sleet dowse...?
     Or
hang his whole gang -- cronies, kids -- by their
feet...
     ...and dis-
play 'em across the South Lawn of the 
Wheat House...?

(More of "The Wheat House" -- 
including an image -- to come: 
a work in progress.)

A is for 'A'! Letter A

"A is for 'A'!"
   I
I'd ID, ge-
neric'lly, __(blank)__ 
man, __(blank)__ plan, __(blank)__ can-...,*
     I'd 
jot an 'a.' (Jot 
'the'...? No wa-a-ay!) Don't 
say I can't, young 
man!

     * Possibly referenced is the 
famed palindrome "A man, a plan, 
a canal: Panama!"

A Is For 'A'! Letter D

"D is for 'D'!"
  I 
took the test (I 
tried my best) Ms. 
Teach return'd to-
day.
     What 
did I see...? I'd 
earn'd a 'D'...? I'd 
disagree: an 
'A'!
