To T, from S

Tasty treats taken to the terrifying territory 

Under uncomfortably undulating urchins'

Vests vary, viewed vicariously via

Wet warriors walking with wild willfulness.

Xenophobic Xavier's Xmas xylophone:

Zig-zag zinc zones zealously zinging

And aching audibly across acres and avenues

Buried beneath beehives buzzing belligerently behind burnt

Cornices. Cold cobwebs collect cockroaches cunningly

Despite desperate dogflies dealing damage daily. Durable

Elephants escalate ecstatic exultations except 

For Fafnir Fulltrunk--fastidious fellow--for

Grazed grace grieves gruesomely. Gentlemen!

Have heavenly hosts hollered "Hallelujah!" hourly?

If it is irksome, insist icily in invocations irrefutable, 

"Jumping Jesus! Judiciously jubilate. 

Keening kittens killed klutzily

Lament less loudly. Live; let live. Let

Me magically make matters more manageable:

Next November, nine nocturnes--nay, nineteen!--

Of oracular or ornamental oration, officially occasioned on 

Paper, printed papally, prepared properly

Qua qualifications quoted quarterly quite 

Regrettably remain requested

Sin submissions. So! Sit silently, scatter soon, sing separately. Salud!"
