Alphabet Poems #34-40

#34
Because the cold-blooded cock got cold feet
Before his colectomy and before his cold wedding,
And gave the cold shoulder to a cold turkey,
There was no coitus in Colchis for this old rooster.

#35
In Camelot one camel in a camisole
Wore a cameo on her neck for camouflage,
Ate camembert &
Drank camomile.
Another camel from Cameroon also wore a cameo for camouflage,
Ate camembert &
Drank camomile.

#36
The pachyderm with a pacemaker played pachisi with a pachuco from Pachuca.
Is there any oxymoron for oxygen?

#37
A platoon of platypuses
Played platform tennis
With Plato and Titus Maccius Plautus.
Sylvia Plath stared
Through a plate glass and
Platitudinized about plate tectonics.

#38.
Shiva was in shirtsleeves and had ship fever;
Shiva was in shirtsleeves and ate shish kebab;
Shiva was in shirtsleeves and had shin splints

#39.
Quetzalcoatl did not quibble about gods, but
Liked to eat quiche and quesadillas with queen olives.
Quetzalcoatl quenched his thirst with quince (& grew quiescent)
After his quickie in the quicksand
With a quivering princess.

#40.
The Y2K Bug came & went like Yankee Doodle on his yak;
Yahweh yapped & yapped about Yin & Yang;
William Butler Yeats yelped and yelped about yesteryear and yesterday;
A yogi ate yoghurt, yolks & yams
&
Yearned for his yellow yo-yo.
