Ode to "Q"

                                                       
Questionable intentions were brought by he,
Quartet gently playing in the corner.
Qualifying his earnest pedigree,
Quick to satisfy his plea for her honor.  

Qualms from other gentlemen,
Quarreling over the prize.
Quiet as their majesty walked in,
Quaint appearances were much to surmise.

Quibbling over the princess's hand,
Queries from great distances away.
Quotient of suitable purveyors of the land,
Quintuplets soon lined up for their say.

Quarantine began after draining their cups,
Quagmire like no kingdom had seen.
Quilts were gathered to cover up,
Quirky King was really a Queen.

  10. Julie, I believe I've said this before: you've outdone yourself! This is absolutely brilliant, and I don't have a "q" word for it; you've used them all. It's poetic, hilarious (great last line shocker), and amazingly creative. WOW.=)

  17. And then they all went to the Quiznos in Quebec where they Quaffed Quiche so foul they got Queasy.
    Very talented, clever bit of poetry!
    NOTE: I know you can't Quaff food, but I needed a 'Q.'

    Al - Then you haven't seen me eat! Love your alliteration in Q's! You are the Quintessential King of Banter, and Commodore of Comments. Maybe I should just quit while I'm ahead and say thank you! Julie
