Alphabet Zoo
Annie Axolotl accurately allots aerial ambushes;
Bella Buffalo barrels and blunders brashly by.
Charlie Cat curates carefully crafted candy;
Debbie Donkey develops demographic data.
Ernie Elephant eats energizing peanuts;
Freddy Fly flusters everyone frustratingly.
Greta Giraffe gobbles green leaves;
Harry Hornet hovers horrifyingly overhead.
Irma Ibis inches along the inlet;
Jerry Jackal jumps across a puddle.
Kelly Kangaroo keeps her joey kozy in a pouch;
Lanie Llama weaves loopy scarves on looms.
Mikey Mouse meanders through moldy mansions;
Nonna Newt nibbles on unnoticeable novelties.
Olga Orangutan orders affordable oranges on Amazon;
Peter Penguin perennially plots global takeover.
Queenie Quokka quietly quotes quirky queries;
Ronnie Rabbit relishes rolling valleys of clover.
Stevie Sandpiper strolls along the seashore;
Tippy Toucan dexterously taps his tail.
Ursula Ungulate usually chews her cud;
Vinnie Vulture veers voraciously downwind.
Winnie Whale wanders the waves off Wales;
Xavier Fox Xeroxes zero zoom notes.
Yoyo Yak yells enlightening yarns, and
Zippy Zebra Zens out zealously.
26 lines, free verse.
