Q

I picked the letter Q to be cute or coquettish. Actually, I like the way it sounds when a child says it in running down her ABC's. QRS-T. Look at it and say it, like you have just learned it. QRS. The way Q seems to stumble into RS, like a rotund woman on a downward escalator sticking her highheel into the back of the letter R, thus stumbling in S and T. Like she has some sort of grudge against R and S and T, as if she--or lets admit it, Q could very well be the drag queen of the alphabet--has watched Wheel of Fortune since its inception and has finally had enough of being ignored. Like the puking quare quack at some right wing tea party, a flaying quaker who insists his quartan is just waiting to be delivered. Like I said, I picked the letter Q to be cute or coquettish.
