From A-Z

After an agonizing attempt

at artistic approach a

bard bearing barbaric babbling

became bereaved because

copious corrections couldn’t

convey compelling cadence

‘Doing discredit doesn’t deem

doggerel divine,’

exclaimed ecclesiastics

exhibiting exhaustive education.

‘Furthermore, facetious frivolity

facilitates failure.’

Grabbing genitalia, grunting

‘Gracias,’ goaded great

hullabaloo. However, his

hallmark horrified his hono(u)r.

‘I insist; ignominious ideas

involving irreverence irreconcilable!’

‘Jumpin’ Jesus Jezebel,’

Jester jokingly jeered.

‘Kerb-crawling Kierkegaard

keeps kidnapping Kafka,

leaving literature lacerated

like linguistics.

‘Maybe my masterpiece

merits mythical magnificence

needing nimble, noble,

nautical navigation.’ Noticeably

obstinate, our outcast,

outraged over opening

Pandora’s phonetic portfolio,

pandered poetry,

quixotically quitting

quality.

Ribaldry ran rampant

rendering rhythm ridiculous.

So struck, so shocked.

so slanderously slandered,

the tactic to thinking

tempted tinnitus

unleashing unusual

‘Ummmmms…..Ugggghhhs!”

Valkyries volunteered

vituperating verbose volumes.

Wagner wildly wailed

while wielding

xylophones. Xenophobic

Yama yammered, yelped,

‘Yackety-yak! Yackety-yak!’

Zarathustra zapped

Zeus.
