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 29 June 2922 Contest: Begin With A Letter Sponsor: Angela Tune

Outstanding use of the letter A. Your narrative is original and flows nicely.

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.

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

This is an amazing narration using the same alphabet right through. I’m struggling with 4 lines and here you’ve gotten in 18!

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

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

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

Wow, Terry...this is clever as all get out. I think Angela will like this one.

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
