Janet, that's really good.

Here's one of the many not-quite-there alphabet poems (or alphabet board books) I have in progress:


Guided Tour of the Alphabet


The first four letters you will see
are known as A B C and D.

I’m sure you recognize the A
from inside words like cAt and plAy,

and B, I’m sure you know quite well,
begins Banana, Bat and Bell,

and C and D are truly handy
spelling words like CarD or CanDy.

Then come E and F and G.
We get to Eat because of E!

And if an F should make you Flip,
you need a G to get a Grip.

Next up: H and I and J.
H makes Horses who eat Hay.

The letter I is of great use
in making Ice-cream. J makes Juice.

After that comes K L M.
Thank goodness for all three of them!

How could we write down MiLK if they
packed their things and moved away?

Up ahead: N O and P.
They spell NOPe (along with E).

Beyond the P you’ll find a Q.
Quick, before it Questions you,

let’s move on to R S T!
At last, you now can ReST. U V

and W wait beyond the turn.
Ultra Violet Waves, don’t burn!

Then X Y Z, alive and chipper,
arrive to say eXamine Your Zipper!

And that’s as far as we can get.
I hope you liked the alphabet!
