Ive written like that many times and love to do that ad hoc stuff.
It was really clever loved it and the style.

[Red Brick Keshner]

Math enlightens us, that finding "X" solves everything else. Or does it?

[andrew mitchell]

X marks the spot! Just a play on letters Monty Python style. Thanks Red.

Oh you! I should have guessed your brilliance would flare into space with a poem like this one day.. and.. now's the time!! Is unique (I think) and academically adept.. til that wicked finish. :)

Wow what a great take on the alphabet and how you used it to bring conversation to life… with wit and flavor… so cleverly crafted Andrew, I could never think of that idea!
Best, B

Thank you so much Betty. I like to do the twilight zone of poetry, off the grid just to mix it up lol.
