The ABC

 'Twas midnight in the schoolroom
And every desk was shut
When suddenly from the alphabet 
Was heard a loud "Tut-Tut!"

Said A to B, "I don't like C;
His manners are a lack.

For all I ever see of C
Is a semi-circular back!"

"I disagree," said D to B,
"I've never found C so.

From where I stand he seems to be
An uncompleted O.
"

C was vexed, "I'm much perplexed,
You criticise my shape.

I'm made like that, to help spell Cat
And Cow and Cool and Cape.
"

"He's right" said E; said F, "Whoopee!"
Said G, "'Ip, 'Ip, 'ooray!"
"You're dropping me," roared H to G.

"Don't do it please I pray.
"

"Out of my way," LL said to K.

"I'll make poor I look ILL.
"
To stop this stunt J stood in front,
And presto! ILL was JILL.


"U know," said V, "that W
Is twice the age of me.

For as a Roman V is five
I'm half as young as he.
"

X and Y yawned sleepily,
"Look at the time!" they said.

"Let's all get off to beddy byes.
"
They did, then "Z-z-z.
"
