Comments On the Alphabet

I have some comments on the alphabet-- This group of letters numbering twenty-six. There seems to be some problems with it, yet, They might not be the kind we’d like to fix. The C, S, K, and Q can interchange, The X, I’m sure, could quickly be replaced, The G and J sometimes both sound the same; The many sounds of vowels is a disgrace! And what about the lonely W-- The only one with syllables to say-- It looks like double-V, that is quite true, But not likely to be renamed some day. The school kids would be thrilled, I’m sure, to death If things were changed in alphabetic scheme; There’d be no chance to give the child an “F” If that one letter’s dropped from off the scene. In zeal I could think of some more to choose, But without some of its letters this would be A poem with letters I could never use Because somebody changed our A B C’s.
