Artists indiscriminate,
Billionaire bulls bears berate,
Careless kids insatiate,
Domination by dread State,
Effete fools effeminate
Frogs, slimy snails fat Frenchman ate,
Growing old, ungrateful state -
Hypocrites who soon deflate,
Intellectuals irate,
Jobbing backwards when too late,
Kits and cattens mewling mate,
Litigation, legislate.
Matrimonial stale_mate,
Neglecting rendez-vous, birthdate,
Overacting, things ornate,
Pastry spilt from pattern plate.
Queues, where late folks always wait,
Refusing poor, unfortunate,
Straying outside narrow, straight,
Trust betrayed. Unfortunate
Undermining minds more great,
Varnish, make-up, snaring gait,
Wishy-washy writers' prate,
XX XY exaggerate,
Youths fine fortunes dissipate,
Zurich subprime speculate.
A to Z of all I hate

A rtists inarticulate,
B oors who bears and bulls would bate,
C areless kids insatiate,
D omination by the State,
E fforts’ unrewarded wait,
F rogs and snails the Frenchman ate,
G rowing old, - a sorry state -
H ypocrites who soon deflate,
I ntellectuals irate,
J obbing backwards when too late,
K its and cattens mewling mate,
L egislation to equate.
M isogyny, divorce stalemate
N ot remembering the date,
O veracting, things ornate,
P astry upon patterned plate.
Q ueues, and where one has to wait,
R efusing the unfortunate,
S wearing, straying from the straight,
T rust betrayed. Decrees of Fate.
U ndermining minds more great,
V arnish, make-up, snaring gait,
W ilting women overweight,
Y ouths who fortunes dissipate,
Z urich gnomes who speculate.
A to Z of all we hate
