Here’s a poem called ‘An Attempt to Write an Abecedarian Poem in Praise of the Dictionary’.

An Attempt to Write an Abecedarian Poem   in Praise of the Dictionary    An unfaltering ability to  Bring clarity to the English language  Constitutes your   Defining quality.  Ever since the day we  First met and I  Giggled at the rude words   Hidden amongst your pages,  I adored you,   Jubilant in the  Knowledge that things were  Looking up. You offered me the  Meaning of life,  Not to mention the meaning of all those  Other words, too.  Perfect at settling Scrabble board  Quarrels, your judgement  Reigns supreme. I  Sift you daily, panning for words in  The hope of penning the   Ultimate – the greatest poem this   Vast world has ever seen, but  Whoa, here comes the  X, and oh, alphabet, how could you, I knew  You’d get the better of me  Zooner or later.  Brian Bilston
