alphabetic etude

Ambitious artistic aardvarks, ambling awkwardly away, airborne aristocrats
Because belittling bygones boiled into bouillabaisse battled the best
Cryptic chrysanthemums, colorless coins of chameleon caution
Dolorous deathly deeds done doubly, disproportionate drama
         of a Dutchman's delight
Efficient exercise of extortion, establishing exorcism through exoticism
Femme fatale fermenting in the freezer
Ghoulish go-betweens generating graying grace
Hellish hedonists harboring havens not of heaven
Idealists, ironically invertebrate, ingratiating idiots
Juggling Jesus, Jesuits,
         jealous jests and jeering jewel-laden jackals
Killing, kowtowing to all, kangaroo karaoke, kindly koala,
         keen kettles and keyholes
Limousine lounges, lessons in luxury, no love, little liveliness,
         liberating livelihood
"Mommy dearest", mature maternal monster, unmaterning mistaken madness
         masturbation (of course!) mirage
Nobody nowhere, no time, needs nurturing, numb neurons
Obscure, ostentatious, obvious oddities and obtuse odysseys
Pristine peacocks parading pathetically on porcupine pincushions
Queers in queasy quests of quality and quantity
Reasonable righteousness from reckoned resources, no results, rotten roses
Singular strident soliloquies of stressful stanzas, supplanted through supplication
Tangy tangible tangerine tears, troubled tomorrows of a troubadour's
         tryptique triangulation
Upon Ulysses' ultimate unction, undergrowth underestimated, unbelieving
Verily I vociferate, voicing my vague values, through viable varnished visions
Wager a wailful wish upon the whirling wheel of warning
Xanax (yes!) xenophobic, Xerox the xylophone!
Yesterdays yield youthful yearning, yodeling yoga yuppies
Zero zebras on the zenith, to the zoos, zen zealots!
