O is for obstacle, one type of race,
P is for pillow, a rest for your face.
Q is for quiet, this board is right now,
R is for rope burn, which makes you cry OW!
S is for straw, to drink your float through,
T is for toffee, a candy to chew.
U is for unbroken, this string of posts is,
V is for verse, at which I’m a whiz. 
W is for What am I doing up so late?
X is for Xerxes, a king who was great.
Y is for yellow, the hue of the sun,
Z is for zero, when a countdown is done.
A bit further I’d go, by hook or by ruse,
But I’m a tradionalist, not Dr. Seuss.
Could padding your post count be more fun? We need more themes. How about:
[D]own in the lowest solar orbit you will find Mercury.
[E]ver wrapped in clouds is the planet Venus.
For what it’s worth, the thread title after this one was The finality of death
Gee, I hope that isn’t an omen for this thread. . .
Honest!
I’m very entertained 
Jaw on the floor in admiration, your SBSness –
Leek green with envy I am at your ability to poetically blather–
Morning, all!
Noticeable I am sure was my absence yesterday.
Overwhelmed was I at work.
Perhaps Homebrew will come and comfort me.
Quite a thread you got going here.
Really
Soon it will be a hunneret pages!
That’s something to be proud of.
Undoubtedly
Very excellent post SBS, completely Seussian in it’s denial of same. Well done, I say and g’mornin’ everyone!
W is for Wow, for the verse by SBS
What the heck (if I might be so bold as to ask) were you doing up at 4am writing alphabet rhymes anyway? At that moment my alarm was about an hour away from ringing. Just wondering…

And thinking in rhyme, thanks alot!(rhymes suppressed)
