NaPoWriMo 2019, Day 19

The prompt today is to write an abecedarian poem, in which the word choice -- either the worse sequence, the first word of each line, etc. -- follows the letters of the alphabet.  I went with the first word of each line and got goofy, because what else can you do with a prompt like this?

An Unexceptional Tuesday in April

An angel danced upon a rooftop

before she flew away.

Camels wearing swimsuits went

down to frolic in the bay.

Every day weird things happen

from morning until night.

Giraffes wearing sunglasses

helped  a little boy fly his kite.

I surely can't explain it.

Just look at the stuff that goes on.

Kings and queens wearing hightop sneakers

leapt  over a troupe of  purple prawns.

Monkeys wearing zoot suits

nestled with tigers in trees.

Ostriches wearing pink tutus

pirouetted in the morning breeze.

Quietly the clouds drifted in and

rained soda pop  onto the town,

soaking all the aristocrats, ruining their

tuxedos and silken gowns.

Umbrellas rose into the sky

voyaging to who knows where?

While a band of floating balloon animals played

xylophones in mid-air.

You may not believe me but it is no mendacity.

Zero normal things ever happen in our fair city. - Jeff Barnes
