Repost: The Aals In Al's Salsa: A Nonsense

A's for 
all of the aals 
Al allows in Al's Salsa.

B's for bountiful bowels 
(burp!) betray'd by the aals 
Al allows in Al's Salsa.

C's for charming Czech chars 
cleaning crappers in bars 
badly foul'd by brown’d bowels 
("Bounty Towel'd...? Bloody aals!) 
Al allows in Al’s Salsa.

D's for drei dozen 
dowels 
used deploying dry towels, 
towels consumed by Czech charwomen 
chary of bowels, 
bowels betray'd by the aals 
("...BHA'd by the aals...?") 
Al allows in Al's Salsa.

E's for erudite e-mails 
each evening mail'd females 
detain'd dragging dowels, 
drilling cores, dress'd in cowls, 
all consumed by chic charwomen 
cautious 'round bowels,
bowels betray'd by the aals 
("...ballonet'd by the aals...?") 
Al allows in Al’s Salsa.

F's for flat files 
flaunting feminine wiles 
mail'd (in error!) in e-mails 
to educate females 
who drill down through dowels, 
dandy cores for crimp'd t*w*ls 
(spelt employing orthography 
using no vowels), 
towels consumed by Czech chars 
cleaning bathrooms in bars -- 
biker bars (bars dubb'd "Bubba's" 
or "Jolly Jack Tar's") 
whose bartenders 'n' bouncers...
Best kept behind bars --
big bars badger'd 'n' bother'd 
'n' browbeat by bowels, 
bowels betray'd by the aals 
("...Beaujolais'd by the aals...?) 
Al allows in Al's Salsa.

G's, by golly, by gosh
for gum gnarl'd 'n' gnosh'd 
by twin dumb femme fatalettes 
whose wiles fill porn files 
mail'd in error by e-mail, 
enjoining each female, 
"Keep drilling those dowels, 
darn ya’ll!" -- [Deftly drill'd dowels 
provide cores for the towels, 
and the ladies who drill, 
christen'd "Whores de la Towels," 
Al calls "borers of dowels"] -- 
mostly dowels for the towels, 
cloths consumed by chic chars 
(who arrive in fine cars) 
chary -- very! -- of bowels, 
bowels betray'd by the aals 
("...buerre manie'd by the aals...?") 
Al allows in Al's Salsa.

H...? For haberdash'd hats 
hiding hundreds of cats 
whose guts ghouls grind for gum 
gaily gnosh'd by some dumb 
femme fatalettes whose wiles 
found (unfilter'd!in files 
mail'd in error in e-mails 
to estrogen’d females 
who drill all those dowels -- 
done as cores for the towels, 
cloths consumed by chain'd chars 
forced to check any bowels 
badly trod on by aals 
("...blah-blah-blah'd by the aals...?") 
Al allows in Al's Salsa.

I's for indigo isles -- 
drain'd by Indigo Niles 
running through 'em like aisles --
I've inhabited, miles 
from the hundreds of hats 
hiding hundreds more cats 
from whose guts gals get gum 
gnosh'd...again, clumsy dumb 
femme fatalettes whose wiles 
are finess'd in fat files 
mail'd in error in e-mails
to employees – females!  
who drill all those dowels 
(disregard, please, their scowls) 
dowels consumed by chic chars, 
cool as cuc- ( * * * 
* * * * * ) bowels 
be'n' betray'd by the aals 
("...Beau Marche'd by those aals...?") 
Al allows in Al's Salsa.
   
    * Syllables indicated by asterisks represent

J's just the jails 
justly jamm'd by the males 
now indicted for stealing
(plea's in; they're appealing) 
those hoards of fedoras 
'neath which hide Angoras 
grim goons change to gum...
...once again, here's those dumb 
femme fatalettes whose wiles 
folks find featured in files 
mail'd (correctly!) by e-mails 
to three males -- all key males -- 
who drill all those dowels, 
at day's end, cores for towels, 
towels consumed by crazed chars...
chars still chary of bowels, 
bowels betray'd by the aals 
("...Ballantrae'd by those aals...?") 
Al allows in Al's Salsa.

K's for…("Hey! Pis aller!")

There's the white call'd alabaster. 
There's the white of bleachéd bones.
There's the white of cuffs and collars 
clothing Calvin Carson-Jones.
There's the white on cliffs at Dover. 
There's the whites of plovers' eggs.
There's the white of coward's feathers 
as that cad forgiveness begs.
There's the predatory great white. 
(Aren't white herons great as well...?)
There are white piano iv'ries. 
Jack White knows no parallel.
Seen on airplane flights...? White knuckles. 
Heard in proxy fights...? White lies.
And on Broadway, cows named Milky White. 
(In Sondheim's play, one dies.*)
I have childhood friends who're non-white. 
Off-off-white's a fashion shade.
Pearl White's both a color and an actress. 
(One was bound to fade.)
There's the White Queen -- friend to Alice. 
White rice...? On the whole, it's white.
Snow White lived with seven dwarves. 
White trash fertilizes blight.
There's the ultrawhite of salesmen's smiles. 
Vanilla white's for cones,
while white wine is not. (How far we've got 
from cliffs and bleachéd bones!)
Cafe singers croon "White Xmas." 
Are not you and I both white...?
Sure, but Zadie Smith, I note forthwith,
