alphabet soup
your Ps and your Qs:
have you seen them lately?
did you throw out the bathwater?
did you throw out the baby?
have you dotted your Is?
have you crossed all your Ts?
or are you too busy
minding Qs and Ps?
a leopard can never change his spots,
this is why Ts have crosses
and Is must have dots.
and what happens if i refuse
to call a spade a spade?
and if i count a chicken
before it is made?
one mustn't beat
a horse that is dead,
but must wash both their hands
of the problem instead.
but never,
no, never pull wool over your eyes.
avoiding the problem
won't shoo off the cries.
for you know that the blind
cannot lead the blind.
then Ps and Qs themselves must mind.
