Down on the corner of Alphabet Street
starring Mr. H
Down on the corner of Alphabet Street
Where the numbers won’t go but the letters all meet
Few hang out alone – most gather in groups
In clusters and gangs and alphabet soups
When they hang out together on days that are warm
Syllables, words and sentences form
You can tell some of the leaders – they’re bigger in size
Bolder in print, and capitalized
But the one with the power – the brains as they say
Is sneaky and shy and stays out of the way
Mr. H is the letter – the one with the clout
The type that your mother has warned you about
He’s quiet and gentle – when no one’s around
But when some stand beside him, he changes their sound
I think that he’s jealous of those who are strong
Cause they sound so much weaker when H is along
He started with C, G, P, and S
Then the T and the W and he wants more I guess
Because others are nervous – at least one or two
Mr. Q won’t come out with out taking the U
They say H has been angry since the beginning of time
The only letter made with no words that rhyme
So Children and parents beware when you meet
Mr. H,…He’s the bully of Alphabet Street

| What a brilliant idea the alphabet as a poem and yes the H is silent and the Q is shy and will only come out when the u is about, I would certainly have this printed if it were mine. Great poem top marks for an excellent idea bernard2 |
