  You 
sport a
Jones for 
fruits, with
stones, from 
far-flung 

distant 
reaches...?
     No 
worse you'll 
do than 
tour Pe-
ru. Pick 
Incan 
Machu 
Peaches!

A Is For A! An Illustrated Alphabet in Verse: Letter Y

When needing space
to park my face, 
but not a place prestigious,
I always hie
me to the Y,
though none tag me religious.

A Is For A! An Illustrated Alphabet in Verse: Letter Z

A doze, a rest,
three winks, siest-
a, nap, a nod, a trance
is what's requir'd.
In short, I'm tired!
(At least one Z, perchance...?)

World Heritage Fruit, Vegetable & Cereal Grain Architecture Sites in Series, Series Five, Number Twenty Two -- Montmartre: Sacre-Coeurgettes

"Sacré-Cœurgettes"
by Ulysses Poe

Iceberg 'n' 
Cranberry 
Beans;

maine 'n' A-

     uce, Ra-

gettes!

A Is For A! An Illustrated Alphabet in Verse: Letter O

"O beautifoo-...";
"O say can you...";
"O little town o' Beth-...":
each sports an 'O.'
(So, Deists know,
does "Where's thy sting, O Death...?"

A Is For A! An Illustrated Alphabet in Verse: Letter U

Burmese PM 
(a 'homme,' no 'femme'),
their very first: U Nu!
U Thant...? Not so.
Nor Goryeo.
(A playwright, too: who knew...?)

A Is For A! An Illustrated Alphabet in Verse: Letter M

En France, when yer 
address'd "Monsieur," 
those frogs concur: an M
precedes yer name. 
So: what's their game...? 
How d'y'all relate to them...?

Wolaly on 'HARD' > 'EASY'

"One Through Twelve 
Observ'd" 
(aka"Sour Mashup")

                                ♫ Show me wha' de wolaly look like...?
                                   This be wha' de wolaly look like! ♫
            To tiptoe, step by step, from here to yonder's often HARD.
  Plant one misstep, one faux finesse, and Smack! you'll come to HARM.

           Then, asking, "Am I growing cold...?" and, "Am I getting WARM...?"

               where's all the aid to steer you clear of cul de sacs, to WARN

                    of lexical dead ends to lingual garden paths....? Do EARN
     you pointless platitudes like, "That there horse done's left the BARN"...?

                           (Such wisecracks render even my imagination BARE;

           the creeps who come across with 'em be nothing short of BASE.

         If they'd but plug their pie holes, leaving you to move with EASE,

    you'd, step by step, your best path nose from 'hard' to 'easy'...EASY!)
