Silent Response

The Sound of Silenced Letters

We know the letter B doesn’t belong in subtle
But what has the letter C got to do in a muscle?
The role of the D in Wednesday we can’t define
Why should G be present in a gnat or in a sign?

To be honest, does the H in rhyme ring a bell?
And can the J in marijuana anybody smell?
Who knows why the K in knee won’t knock
And why the L in walk or in calf would not talk

The first M in mnemonic is hard to understand
Would the damned N in the column ever stand?
We can’t say the P in psalm or in psychology
And S alone gets tossed out from the debris

Is the T heard when you listen to a whistle?
W is not write, it’s wrong, don’t try to wrestle
X is the mistake in a faux pas, get the clue?
Hush, no rendezvous with Z, goodbye, adieu!

My response, on 27.9.22

An interesting post, I happened to see;
A probably got dissolved in the sea.
And so is E if you really gear up
to search all the countries of Europe.

We do toil to acquire wealth
but it remains as elusive as the F in twelfth
To think I is full of ego, my foot!
Just try to pronounce the word suit.

Round and sound the O may appear
It runs like a leopard to quickly disappear
I looked ahead, straining my neck
in the long Queue waiting to cash their cheque.

R is certainly the calibre of a Royal scion
Weathering hardship as the rust in iron.
Making the U turn, in all fairness
makes it so easy for you to guess.

Strong and vocal, V is never in trouble
Loses its sound only when it becomes double.
Standing on a pedestal, Y is not shy,
To give V company, if you wonder why!
