The Alphabeasts

Aardvarks annoyingly act as adults
Beavers behave before betraying
Chipmunks challenge chilling constraints
Diplodocus droops down defeated
Earwigs eliminate earnest employees
Felines fish for frantic followers
Groupers gather ginger garments
Hamsters hate heavy hobgoblins
Impala imply infinite insurrection
Jackals jealously jail jalopies
Kingfishers keep kowtowing kings
Lobsters like lefthanded loons
Manatees may molest ministers
Nightingales never needle ninepins
Okapis occupy occasional overalls
Piranhas prefer prey prostrate
Quokka question quiet quail
Rhinoceroses retain relaxing resorts
Scorpions seldom seem surprised
Tarantulas trim their towering threads
Urchins use unauthorised utilities
Voles value vanished varmints
Wildebeest worry wanton walkers
X-ray-tetras X-ist X-istentially X-tant
Yellowhammers yammer yearly yawning
Zebras zap Zambesi zealots.



Line count: 26
Form: Alphabestiary
For Promptly Poetry Challenge 5, Week 24
Prompt: Write an Alphabestiary poem.
