"Q" is for...

Jenny Matlock 
So we've come once again to the letter "Q"
the QUINTESSENTIAL scrabble letter it's true it's true
It's QUIRKY, QUIET, cute, and QUAINT
So hard to use it may make you faint
So be wise while playing and hoard those "U"'s
for without hard pressed for words with "Q"'s
Remember my friends to keep your aim true
to win the game with the QUIRKY "Q"

  6. You. Are. So. Qute!

    I loved this.

    And it's probably why I lose at Scrabble. I need to work on my 'U' hoarding skills!

    Quite a clever little poem you shared here.

    Thank you.
