The Alphabet People

A girl I once knew from my youth
Believed a fairy flew in for her tooth.
Crept beside her small bed,
Dug the pillow from her head
Escaping the moment of truth.

Friends from a long time ago
Gifted me with an x-rated show.
Happenstance, it would seem,
Interrupted their scheme,
Jarring police barging in to and fro.

Kin from my dad's family
Lounged under a huge apple tree.
Moments later, a squall
Nearly pummeled them all,
Obliterating apples into puree.

Peers from my very first job
Questioned the thingamabob
Rooted off of the shelf,
Sold in a box by itself,
Transcending money from a colorful blob.

Upperclassmen at my college
Verify the professor's knowledge
With their whim and their wit
Xenial manners and s**t,
Yielding kudos in the houses they pledge.

Zany, yet trite, if you please,
Zillions of people like these
Zoom in and out,
Zealous and stout,
Zipping me like a flying trapeze.
