Q

 

Where they go one, they go all

Just like sheep in a rented U-Haul

(Bah, bah, bah!)

I Will Never Take Instruction from a Consonant

 

Whenever I’m down, and feeling a little blue

I wonder whatever it is I can do

What traditional learning I can pursue

To recover the happiness I once knew

 

I shun the transient, the ever-new

The latest fashions the unlettered construe

For I will follow Wisdom, just and true

Wherever She leads me, my whole life through

 

I will never take instruction from a consonant

And I know, wise friend, that neither will you

Q is a Letter in the Alphabet

 

And that’s pretty much it, between P and R

Our teachers made us carve it as a curvy 2

Which is illogical because no one

Then wrote about 2uadrilaterals or 2ueens

 

A Q is not a Delphic Oracle

Nor is it The Lost Transistor of Mars

Whispering Barsoomian secrets in code

Transmitted through albino Calvinists

 

Q is a letter in the alphabet -

And we are rational children of God
