Howard Nemerov Quote

A peels an apple, while B kneels to God,C telephones to D, who has a handOn E’s knee, F coughs, G turns up the sodFor H’s grave, I do not understandBut J is bringing one clay pigeon downWhile K brings down a nightstick on L’s head,And M takes mustard, N drives to town,O goes to bed with P, and Q drops dead, R lies to S, but happens to be heardBy T, who tells U not to fire VFor having to give W the wordThat X is now deceiving Y with Z,
