Comment from Dawn Munro
LOL - well, okay, I can certainly envision this without any effort, although it's a bit of a bizarre sight - are you saying the xylophone is difficult to master? You sure did pick impressive letters for your ABC poem, and rhymed it to boot! Wow. Best of luck. I'm still smiling with pleasure after reading this one and picturing those zebras and mice. :).

Oh, goodness, I hope I didn't offend!

Not at all. I'm glad you saw the humor I intended. Happy day. Bill

Oh, that's great. Thanks for letting me know.

Ha, ha. I enjoyed this humorous ABC poem. You used all the hard letters here--well not quite--you didn't use "Q." And you made it rhyme. Gives food for thought as who would pick certain instruments such as the xylophone, the tuba or the harp. Marilyn

This meets the contest requirements beautifully with spot on conformity to form. I love the section of the alphabet you picked to use - shows real courage and command of vocabulary. I wish you all the best in the judging and thank you very much for sharing it.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written ABC poem an one of the easiest instruments to learn to play a tune. A great way to start growing musical talents from an early age.

You are to be commended for taking some of the hardest letters to use
the meter and flow is terrific making for a rhythmic read
I wish you the best in the contest I haven't seen any others but this is a vote-getter- good luck

Great rhymes for this inventive entry. Good use of humor. Like that you used these more difficult letters. Great entry for the prompt.

Fat chance of any of that happening to me. Which I think is the point. yes you could be good, but you probably won't be. By all means though, try, try and then try again.

Comment from Dean Kuch
Hey, even I would pay to see that show, Bill.
So, when does it begin, and where might I catch this act?
Speakin' of acts, I am actually am amazed that you chose the letters you did for this contest.
W, X, Y, and , Z. Four of the most difficult letters to use in this type of poem, much less add rhyme to the mix.
Best of luck to you in the contest, buddy.
Happy New Year,
~Dean

Thank you, Dean, for taking a look at this. I thought I might as well do the letters X and Z since I wasn't going to dealing with reality. Bill

Dealing with reality?
Well, that's never much fun, is it? LOL...
My pleasure, Bill.
