Quahog


from the ABC set Unordered Tales

I've just indulged in qigong (Chinese meditation)

I'm going to have a qat. (tea)

I have to pay some qintars (Albanian currency)

But I've qiviut enough for that. (wool from musk Ox)

.

I hope that I don't qwackle (choke)

On a quagga's leg, or quail

I could end up in hospital

Or even in a jail!

.

I'm a quaquaversal fellow (facing all ways)

And I am not a quat! (insignificant person)

My quatrayle was a nobleman (great x3 grandad)

Hey- just fancy that!

.

My quiddity? - I'm a quidnunc. (eccentricity)(busybody)

I must admit its true.

I am not a quirister (chorister)

But by the way - are you?

.

And so the point of all this rhyme,

This doggerel, this rant

I've got to mention 'quahog'

(It's an ocean resident).

.

You must not think this quisguillous (made from rubbish)

The 'Q''s are all real words

If you don't believe me

I'll shower you with querds!
