Terry Flood Poet Rhyme

An Albanian Aborigine

Almost all aborigines are Australian
And are apparently also Albanian
Although an amateur actor and atheist
Allegedly also an arsonist
Asked an adjacent Albanian
Are any Albanians Australian
An ardent and arrogant activist
And actually an able archivist
Abruptly answered accordingly 
All answers are always affordably
Available at advisory areas
And an agent adept at arias
Answers abruptly affirmative
And adds an adapted alternative
An anatomically accurate assessment 
And Albanian Australian attestant
An aborigine and an Australian
Aren’t actually actual Albanian

Ann Peck August 31, 2022 at 9:21 PM Congrats on First, you clever poet! who thought an A could be so astonishing! (well, you did apparently) :)

Juliet Ligon August 31, 2022 at 2:39 PM Outstanding use of the letter A. Your narrative is original and flows nicely. Terry Flood August 31, 2022 at 3:50 PM Thanks, Juliet. Appreciated. Terry

FJ Thomas August 30, 2022 at 2:18 PM I believe I just got a nosebleed trying to keep up with your A's! Kudos Terry! Goodness that is one letter I would not even have attempted. Terry Flood August 31, 2022 at 3:52 PM I started with a ‘B’ changed to ‘A’ and it just kinda happened. Thanks FJ. Hope your nose is okay… (and I never thought I say that to anyone today.) Terry

Jeff Kyser August 30, 2022 at 9:59 AM Also, Alabama armadillos ain’t aardvarks although apparently accessed antediluvian arks. Accolades, artist, ‘ave an awesome afternoon! Terry Flood August 30, 2022 at 11:24 AM That’s easy for you to say! ;-) Terry

Christuraj Alex August 30, 2022 at 9:20 AM A poem, which I could never even imagine of. Great, indeed! Congratulations! Terry Flood August 30, 2022 at 11:25 AM Don’t know where it popped up from, but I’m glad you enjoyed. Terry

Sam Kauffman August 30, 2022 at 8:58 AM Very, very clever Terry and a whole lot of aboriginal fun from down under! Congratulations on your first place win! All the best. Blessings! Terry Flood August 30, 2022 at 11:31 AM Thanks, Sam. Glad it tickled your funny bone. Terry

Unseeking Seeker June 30, 2022 at 12:16 AM This is an amazing narration using the same alphabet right through. I’m struggling with 4 lines and here you’ve gotten in 18! Terry Flood July 1, 2022 at 12:41 PM I started with the letter B, but it was going in a bawdy direction so I ditched it and went with ‘A’. Glad you enjoyed. Terry

Harry Horsman June 28, 2022 at 10:19 PM Wow, yes extremely clever, Terry. Here's a couple more 'A's' for you. Australia's new Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese and i believe with Albanian roots also. Harry Terry Flood June 29, 2022 at 1:00 AM That’s astounding! I (to my shame) had no idea of an Anthony Albanese or his Albanian heritage ( I’ve just googled him and you’re bang on). AND THAT IS JUST TOO WIERD! I used Albanian purely and simply for the ‘A’. I’m sorely tempted to edit him in… but that would seem almost like cheating. Terry

L Milton Hankins June 28, 2022 at 6:52 PM Wow, Terry...this is clever as all get out. I think Angela will like this one. Terry Flood June 29, 2022 at 1:02 AM Not half as clever as if I had had the knowledge now imparted by Harry in his comment above. But thanks for your appreciation, Milt. Terry
