abcedarian to kill more time today

anticipated Albany albatrosses buried bumpy bugs beyond the bay creepy curious cats dug them up dinner for dogs they said in disgust even the dogs turned up their snouts at the bugs frenzied finicky felines are crazy they barked giant crows arrived and devoured the gruesome bugs helping themselves to six or eight at a time I am glad these raptors showed up said the dogs jealousy in no way entering their heads kilt-wearing albatrosses happened along lingering close to where their bug stash used to be mad now, they marched menacing around the meadow no need to be upset, the bugs escaped, lied the dogs opportunity to be peacemakers always taken by pups pacifists and problem solvers quails and quackers put their six cents in raising the ire of the miffed albatrosses sixteen sparrows sauntered in to stir things up too they had heard there was a show-down ugly words were tweeted and chirped verbs and vowels best not repeated here wrens and warblers were shooed off by the fray ‘xact ‘xchange never ‘xamined or journaled you are lucky you escaped this melee zealous birds can become dangerously ugly.
