ABCD... a litany of complaints

The challenge for last Saturday was an Abcdedarian - a poem in which each line starts with a consecutive letter of the alphabet. I found this really hard - and the results are very silly (as you can see) and I totally cheated with Z. My four-year-old son cried because 'it was yucky' but reassured me that he liked my other poems. Anyway - here it is.

 

In the wars

Achy head and

blistered toes

chapped dry lips

drip-dripping nose

earhole wax and

flaky skin

gooey eyes that

hair got in

itchy fingers

jammed in doors

knocking knees

large weeping sores

mozzie bites, a

nasty flu

oozing boils and

pimples too

quaking shivers

rectal worms

salmonella

tightrope burns

ulcers bursting

viral chills

wretched fractures

x-ray bills

You think my health is triple-cursed? Try

zymase poisoning, it's the worst
