Alphabet "L"!

 "Z - Y - X - W - V - U - T

S - R - Q - P - O - N - M - L - K

J - I - H - G - F  and E

D - C - B  and A

Now I know my Z - Y - X's

Wont you sing this song of perplexes......"

"Gary!  Wake up, human!"  "Huh!  What happened, Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar?"  "Gary, you were dreaming about the alphabet, but you were mumbling it backwards!"

"Oh yeah, now I remember, Penny......I dreamt I was in alphabet hell!"  
"I recall wandering into "The Alphabet Store." in Leek, Staffordshire.  In the store were a bunch of bloggers frantically searching for ideas for the "A to Z Challenge" that starts on April Fool's Day.  Suddenly, the group of bloggers noted me, Penny.  Like a frenzied mob, they started chucking letters of the alphabet at me.  Somebody yelled, "Take that, A!" I got buzzed by a bee, I mean "B".  I didn't see the "C" which conked me on the cranium.  I dodged the letter "D".  By the end of the alphabet onslaught, I managed to catch a few Zeds or Zees....."
"I thought the dream had ended, Penny. Then I drifted into the land of "O".  O no, I thought!   At least we've got the alphabet dream down to just one letter.  Uh oh, SpaghettiOs!"
"Penny!  Then the dream got much worse..."


Even though my human and I would never um dream of doing the A to Z Challenge, just to be ironic, here is the link for you if you're contemplating joining the challenge, Blogging from A to Z Challenge (April 2014)

My human, Gary, has gone back to sleep.  Probably catching a few more Zeds or Zees......

    You are sincerely awesome, Gary!!!!

    (And I hate to leave such a lame comment, but I'm on my phone & am not a fan of typing out comments...)

    Love that you still support despite your dislike for the alphabet :)

    The nice thing about the alphabet is that there's always plenty to go around for everybody. And written expression would be so chaotic without an alphabet to keep everything in some sense of order.

    I think I'll pass on the Spaghetti-O's. But the Alphabet Store might be kind of fun.

    Mr G and Penny . . . It really can be fun doing the A to Z Challenge I am always looking for a quirky take on it and have done the odd letter from time to time even when it is not April. Too many people see it as a some sort of test where they must do it come what may, I just think its a Jolly. And you still get far more visitors that I ever do even when I am nice to everyone on the A to Z. OK sort of nice. . . . . . OK I know I am not nice to folk, I am more grumpy.

    Take care both, and I hope you are both well and see some of this sun . . .

      Hi human, Robin,

      Hard to believe, I know. My human and I just love blog hops. We especially like, The "Groundblog Day" blogfest : Wouldn't it be great for a blogfest? This would be where we repeat the same paragraph, over and over again. Yes indeed, a paragraph that repeats over and over and over...If you get what I mean?

    I like that it was an "L" that caught your attention on your title! Wonder why...not! Too fun! I am gearing up for that same said A to Z and am considering if I should do a "theme" or just whatever comes into my head. I thought about doing something about dogs... like, listing dog breeds by alphabet, or anything funny to do with dogs. Then thought about writing. But that can get boring and so many people do that already. Thought about doing it about one person... Just can't seem to settle on anything. Oh well. Love your post, dear Penny/Gary, as usual!

    How utterly sweet of you to give a shout out to something that isn't exactly your cuppa tea.

    I won't be A to Z-ing (or Z to A-ing) this year, either. Taking the month of April off from blogging so I could concentrate on my writing worked out well for me last year, so I think I'll do the same this year. One of these years, maybe I'll fight it out with the alphabet again, because the one year I participated was kinda fun. Met lots of new people. BUT it sure does take up a lot of time. More power to all the folks who will be participating this year. May the force... and the dictionary... be with them

Last year and the year before, my human were here to support those who were struggling with the darned thing.
