The ABCs According to Me

Feedback Received!

Why must the grass be colored green?
The sky be painted blue?
Who says that pigs must say, "Oink! Oink!"
Why can't they say, "Moo! Moo!"

Why can't I make my oranges blue
And paint my apples pink?
Or call my rose another name,
Like "dandy doodlewink?"

I want to hum a different tune
And sing a brand new song.
I want to think outside the box.
How can that be so wrong?

So here's what I am gonna do
It's gonna be so neat!
I'm gonna write a brand-new book
Of brand-new ABCs.

My A won't stand for apple.
My B wont be a bed.
I'm gonna make my alphabet
An artist's sketch instead.

I'll turn my letters left or right
Or even upside down,
And then I'll draw the picture
My imagination found.

The only rule I'll follow.
The rule I will not break.
My picture's name won't start off
With the sound the letter makes.

Soooo.....

My A will be a candy corn.
My B will be two teeth.
My C becomes a person's ear.
My D a toilet seat!

My E's (of course) a window.
My F a small bookshelf.
My G becomes an earring.
My H? A buckled belt!

My I will be a pencil.
My J a fishing hook.
My K looks like a see-saw.
My L becomes a book!

My M will be a spider.
My N a castle tower.
My O will be a clown's nose.
I'll make my P a flower!

A Q looks like a pig's butt
(You know it really does!)
My R becomes a lawn mower.
My S? A braided rug!

My T? An old antenna.
My U? A golden chain.
My V is an umbrella.
My W? Two fangs!

My X? A person being frisked.
My Y becomes a tree.
My Z will be a box top.
And there's MY ABCs!.
