I didn't quite rhyme the entire alphabet with "ain" words but I had a lot of fun trying
A Poetic Pinnacle
By Franklin Price12/10/2016
A poetic pinnacle I'm trying to attain
The thought of it is daunting as it's running through my brain
There is no heavy lifting, where I would need a crane
I meet it with some humor and never with disdain
I hope I am successful that it will entertain
Familiarity with many words I will attempt to feign
I try it mainly for myself, want nothing else to gain
Want new underwear for Christmas, I hope that they are Hanes
Further alphabet progression in this poem I will ingrain
More difficult than first grade and reading Dick and Jane
“K” prevents inclusion, by the wayside it is lain
I must leave it lying there my progress to maintain
“N” words now evade me and “O” is just a pain
This poem is a monorhyme and not a short quatrain
Of the letters in the alphabet, only eight remain
Hope that I can make it while still remaining sane
If you see me spouting gibberish put me on the crazy train
That travels to a plane that will fly me to Ukraine
Before I arrive I'll comb my hair I'm just a little vain
The excitement now of writing this, beginning now to wane
“X” and “Y” makes me so hungry, I think I'll eat some Zatarain
As you see there were five letters that left me in the rain
If you think of real words, let me know, if not, you must refrain
