As it's your wish to be abcdarian
but the fact is you seem more Rastafarian
cutting this class as if were something alien
don't mean you can't be a sesquipedalian.

Each has the right to refuse education
foregoing fame and the worlds' adulation,
going through life unaware of potential
having surmised sloth can be exponential.

In light of this and without jactitation
join us my friends get some gratification
keep the light on and don't let it diminish
learn something new, don't become a didn't finish.

Make your own mark rising to the occasion,
nourish the spark through divine innovation,
open up doors then without limitation,
pour out your thoughts and avoid constipation.

Question these words by all means you've available,
rightly conclude they are def'nately not salable,
seek and you'll find they all rhyme on three syllables,
(talent as this should most surely be billable).

Unless you count it as pure satisfaction
verify this without further distraction,
why would one write something so convoluted
x-rays won't show if your mind's been polluted.

Yea, though I speak of such edification
zealots as I oft' need more medication.

Alison,
Thank you, I read both of yours under the class topic earlier and thought they were quite good ( I probably should have said so there, but I just can't go posting replies willy-nilly and ruin my reputation, lol.)

Well, if I were to give out diplomas for the class, something like PHD or BS, the one I would hand you would be Doctor Moose, AB....for above and beyond.

I used to think I could write humor but I see that I'm nothing more than a novice and I bow to the master (the x-ray line was especially clever).

Now convince me that the alphabet begins with I-B-C-Y and you get a gold star

Balladeer,
I haven't the foggiest idea of how this happened. I swear, someone snuck in here and altered my original ( yeah , right!)
Lol, rewrite in the works as usual.
Doc

I stand corrected, and have always been impressed with your sense of humor. Rewrite complete. Thanks,
Doc

Hey Doc, maybe Mr. Balladeer just doesn't know about the Moose alphabet.

Pete,
Now why didn't I think of that, it being the obvious explanation? Oh well, I already
translated it back to English for those not familiar with Mooseish. Thanks Pete.
Doc

Alison,
Right you are! Another perfectly good explanation as to why I originally wrote it that way, however, apparently Balladeer assumed I knew he was referring to the English alphabet. It is nice to see all you good people come to my defense though.

Ken,
Thank you again, but, I'd be careful. Associating yourself too closely with my poetry has been known to cause certain adverse effects, such as, shortness of breath, insomnia, inability to concentrate, inability to concentrate, headaches, nausea, vomiting, and in rare instances premature ejaculation. These side effects are usually only temporary but, for any instance lasting more than four hours seek medical attention from a "real" doctor.

Mysteria,
Thank you, applying some of what I've learned here keeps me challenged ( though some say I was pretty well challenged to begin with ).

Lol, well put. They say the memory goes first, I'd kinda forgotten hanging out with Plato and the gang.
