Alphabet Rebellion

Alphabet Rebellion
 ©1991 Susan Noyes Anderson

I'm dotting every I, and
I am crossing every T.
I'm putting letters down, and
I erase them frequently.

I'm holding whole words hostage
at the point of my pen.
If I don't like the way they look,
I scratch them out again.

G – R – U thinking like I am?
Could our ABCs rebel?
If they went out on a strike,
whatever would we use to spell?

  1. Most people nowadays don't spell things correctly anyway. Therefore, most people, unfortunately, wouldn't miss them.

    And that's the sad, honest truth.

  12. :) I am teaching my kids the ABC's. The proper way to write them and it is hard work for us both! I am sure this poem would resonate with them.
