Abecedarian Poem
Contest Winner


Firstly, apologies to any Iowan indigenes reading this - I seem to have inadvertently placed you in the food-chain!

Secondly, is this how you are supposed to write an Abecedarian poem? Seems awfully difficult - bet you were glued to your screens wondering what I was going to come up with for X

Some torturous vocab necessary here:
indigenes = natives
quagga = an extinct zebra-like animal
ungulates = hoofed animals
xenarthrans= a group of animals including sloths and armadillos
xylophilic = wood-loving
zabaglione = a dessert made from egg yolks, sugar and wine whipped together
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
