Don't Touch My Alphabet! Poem by Richard D Remler

............


I will never, ever, ever let
Bertram touch my alphabet!

Late, late last September he
Dented up my brand new E.

He bent in half my brand new Q,
And chewed the heck out of my U.

He twisted up my H and I,
And now I can't even find my Y.

And the P that once had seemed so new
Now looks more like the number 2.

And scuffed up half my shiny J,
And almost busted up my K.

Now Bertram, oh, he's sore at me.
He's angry as a kid can be.

Since now I'll never, ever let
Bertram touch my alphabet!
