The Bets Final Gossip



Well this will be my last Alphabet gossip poem
As l was summoned to Alphabet H.Q’s this morning
Told in no uncertain terms there will be ‘no more Alphabet gossip’
And given my final warning

So, l wanted to tell you about the letter A
Who stands full of pride at the start of “ The Bet”
A…happens to be the most unlikeable and disliked letter
For who the other letters have nil respect

You see…. A…believes the Alphabet belongs to A
Solely because A is first in line 
Taking on the owner and custodian role
Trying to dictate to the letters all the time

A….is arrogant and does not believe in letter equality
Creating so much stress and tension within “ The Bet”
Resulting in yelling ,swearing and… A…being told to P.O
Though there has been no fisty-cuffs as of yet

S, H and L…are “The Bets” sweethearts
All very compassionate and kind
V, J and K … are meek ,mild and very shy
It takes a few drinks before these three unwind

C…has very poor sight thus wears bottle neck specs
T…is known to like a brew or three
I…is extremely anti-social
B…a peacemaker , his mantra is “ Just let it Be”

I hope you have enjoyed my Alphabet gossip
Though sadly it has come to an end
Try not to judge the letters from what l have shared
As letters and words are our friends

Your Alphabet Gossip poems are poetic music to my ears, Deb. I am placing them alongside you at the top of my "FAV" lists where they (and you) shall remain top billing as long as PSoup and I remain on this planet. Thank you for all the humorous, enlightening and creative entertainment! (Not to mention your frequent visits). Bless you AND the Alphabet we all rely on!

Dear Deb, What a fun farewell to the Alphabet gossip! I loved the quirky personalities of each letter, especially the drama of A’s arrogance. You’ve blended them into characters so lively. What a way to end! Winter Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
