-I Have Some Gossip About U

I want to talk to you about something
Well, l actually have a little gossip l know to be true
About certain letters in the alphabet
Please don’t share with another….its just between me and you!

Did you know that the letter U has quite the reputation
Creating unrest amongst other letters
Popular and loved by some
Disliked by many though as U is quite the go-getter

So lets start with the letter W
V and X’s next door neighbour 
I do believe “W” is in love with “U”
Due to her natural beauty and confident nature

W is completely besotted with U 
And as W’s  adoration for U grew
A single U was no longer enough
So one U became two….known as W

Next…is Y who stands opened armed
Between  the very disliked X and Z
Y is so very unhappy there
X and Z being the two most unpopular letters… it is said

‘Why oh why’, yells Y
‘Am l stuck between these two’
‘I desperately want to move within this alphabet
‘Beside the desirable and beautiful U’

Now, what l am about to share with you is of the most sensitive nature
It is in regard to the letter Q
Q frankly has some deep seeded issues
When it comes to the letter U

Q suffers with separation anxiety 
Is fully dependent on U
Q is unable to function at all
Without the reliable U in view

U sits dutifully next to Q 
So Q can function and thrive
Q will live a fulfilled alphabet life
As long as U stays with Q…..Q will survive

U feels trapped by the relationship with Q
As U loves another… it is true
U’s heart belongs solely and completely to  F 
Both desperate to marry and be known as F.U

Dear Deb, I came back to read these and this was absolutely brilliant, witty, clever, and just downright fun! The way you gave life to letters, turning them into dramatic, lovestruck, and dependent characters, had me grinning the whole way through. Your wordplay is masterful, and that ending—pure gold!! Winter Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

In spite of the odd ditty here and there, I remain in my infernal inspiration block… so try to imagine how envious I feel that you came up with this idea while I’m still scratching my head. A brilliant piece of observational humour and brilliantly handled. Love it ;-)

Deb you are genius, what an amazing poem so clever with the U love it and then comes the Q - Q like a queen must bow to the U for what can Q do without you the U !!!!! I couldn't stop laughing, non stop with your last line, along drifts the F such a flirty case, which is used in fact more and in an situation with U - F.U. Ha, ha ha,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love and hugs. Jennifer.

Very creative Deb.. Sorry I wasn’t here for a few days. I hope you’re doing well. Everything’s going good here.. I will not say anything negative I might be banned.)))). Does that mean I can’t say someone made the spelling error? How about insulting a poem when you know the poem will never figure it out? I think there’s plenty of words here that should be banned. One in particular that is expressed in different ways and I find it very dull but nobody else is.. It really doesn’t matter. Hugs fof

This is a clever riot of a poem, Deb. Love the story and that you tickled us with gossip about the end of the alphabet. Yet, I feel for W's loss to F.

You must have needed to brush up on your alphabet, Deb. I've read something lately that made me think, WTF? Then I heard someone saying to another, "F U!" Alphabet gossip is making the rounds, but I think I'll just enjoy letting it pass me by. Your funny bones are showing. hugs
