A List

The letter a is many things.
I’m going to make a list
and as you read it, you can think
of all the things I’ve missed.

a. a
a. ah
a. aahhh
a. ay

a. a?
a. ah?
a. aahhh?
a. ay?

a. a short-tailed mouse
a. a round, fat apple
a. a roly-poly sitting on its heels
a. a balloon with a really short string.

a. bravo for a job well done!
a. something else – definitely not a (specially in maths)
a. the first of lots of reasons
that make you right and me wrong.

A. in the park, a swing’s frame
A. in maths, a pair of compasses,
pointy and sharp, but the making of a circle.
A. in Paris, a tall, tall tower.

a. the beginning of God
a. the dead centre of music -
the place the whole band tunes to
a. a smile when you say it.

a. the beginning of a list

Now it’s your turn – what’s your a list?
