Quit thinking it's oh so
Quaint I'm good 'for my age'
Question is, why not? to
Quip, this old gray mare ain't
Quite what she used to be~
Quicker of will, I'm still
Quintessentially me.

I do get a lot of my ideas while waiting in lines, I guess boredom can be useful...

You took on the challenge of the letter q and did a fantastic job. I'm sure you will be able to come up with something for "r."

I'm toying with a couple of ideas, not sure if I'll have something ready before the contest fills up though, thank you for your comment, Juliet!

WoW!Michelle, You rose to the challenge with the letter Q. This is a home run. It has a nice rhythm and flow and makes so much sense. If Kim had did the letter Q, you would have placed high, in my opinion. Have a great evening:-)Alexis

Thanks, Alexis, funny it was easier to do this than one for 'R', I'm still mulling that over~
