Word Ways

Authors

Abstract

Having settled the gantlet-gauntlet debate, Word Ways threw down the one to send naive fools running the other (November 1995, "Alphabet Poems: A Brief History"). Rhyming alphabetic telestics: none known. Attempts tended to split rhymes by as much as eight lines. Don't carp at "limneD" in the following; if you read out loud, the "d" isn't sounded until the next line. Admit, Nyr Indictor, the glove fits, and is fashionably cosmopolitan.
