My Alphabet Salad

A is for Anger we all bear
B is for Bravery not all of us share
C is for Cowardness some of us face
D is for Dignity we often chase
E is for Elegance most of us lack
F is for Fear that holds us back
G is for Goodness which  many possess
H is for Honesty which is good I guess
I is for Intelligence some fail to use
J is for Justice often abused
K is for Kaput most of us feel
L is for Love that seldom seems unreal
M is for Magical not always so true
N is for Naughty nothing a new
O is for Openness which is often with drew
P is for Privacy never ever shared
Q is for Quiet we get when we are scared
R is for Righteousness most think they contain
S is for Stupidity that falls upon us like rain
T is for Tortured speaks for 80% of our souls
U is for Unique like most of our goals
V is for Valor most wish they had
W is for Whining because most are sad
X is for Xtreme that's how we live life
Y is for Youth some lived with much strife
and Z is for Zany which sums up this quirky ballad
Tossed around in my mind my Alphabet Salad.
