Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · leaf 356
Sharp V and next him W, Like the Siamese twins united; Cross X awry and outstretched Y,Like an orator excited. And zigzag Z, so old and queer,Neglected for his betters, With shaky step brings up the rear,The last among the letters. … They marched past Dick so many timesIt made his poor head swim; Their names they shouted clear and strongEach time they went by him. They grew more friendly by and by, And Dicky, for his part,Was on the best of terms with each, And knew them all by heart.
