Qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm [The World As I See It]

entry picture

qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm is not allowed,

qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm enjoy cheap thrills,

qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm, I’m well-endowed,

qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm, a bottle of Pils,

qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm, upon my knees,

qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm, the seven seas.

 

qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm, my boots did shine,

qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm the milky way,

qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm along a line

qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm on Galway Bay:

qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm asked her to dance?

qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm, she looked askance.

 

qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm; was in dismay

qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm dimissed my plea:

qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm I’d had my say,

qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm yes, she did play:

qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm and so she sought

qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm and then I thought:

 

qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm I tell a lie,

qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm expensive food,

qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm most costly buy,

qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm a deadly flood;

qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnmy my measure fills,

qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm some idiot spills.

Thank you Hélène.
I borrowed the rhyme scheme from one William Wordsworth.
Free beer tomorrow is the prize for the person who deciphers it.😉
It’s the Earth! Our granddaughter drew it, having suddenly developed an interest in things planetary when her dad got her a telescope….I think she’s got over that now. She’s concentrating on being top in her class at reading; oh, and at being spoiled rotten!😍

A wild poem, a challenge to decipher. Fun! I like it. Who did the art work?
