H2G2 ABCs
A is for Arthur, who's always drinking tea
B
is for bulldozer, and real bad poetry.
C is
for the cosmos - it's really whopping huge
D is for
Dentrassi, who give hitchhikers refuge.
E is for the
Earthmen, who tend to come from Earth,
And Eddie
the computer, who's always glad to serve.
F is for Ford
Prefect, and also forty-two
Ford sure is one
hoopy frood; he has a towel, too.
G is for the
galaxies; they're big and oh-so-shiny
And the Great
White Handkerchief, alive with mucus slimy.
H is for
the Heart of Gold, which holds a great invention:
(That
might turn you into tea if you don't pay attention).
It's
Improbability - and hey, that starts with 'I'!
(The
chances of that happening could not have been too high.)
The
letter 'J's for jammies, which Arthur always
wears
'Cause that's one thing 'bout fashion: up in space, nobody
cares.
K is for Krikkit - their night sky sure is
dull
L is for lunch, which we'll be serving in a
while.
(At least, we'll do that after our delivery gets here
Of
lemon-soaked paper napkins; they're very late, oh dear.)
M
is for Marvin, the Paranoid Android
Who isn't so much
paranoid as depressed and most annoyed.
N is for normal,
though what that is no one's quite sure
O for Oolon
Colluphid of controversial literature
P is for
petunias; for their death they were not keen
Q is
for the Question, which only works in base thirteen.
R
is for the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal
Who'll gobble
up your grandmother and prob'ly you as well.
S is for the
stars and space and Slartibartfast too
As
well as superintelligent shades of the colour blue.
T
is for Thursdays, which Arthur never got the hang of
T
also is for tea, Arthur's one and only true love.
U
is for the universe. It's big and fairly scary
V is for the
Vogons: of them you should be wary.
W is What?
and When? and Who? and Where's the tea?
X
is Xena: Warrior Princess. (I'm desperate, can't you see?)
Y
is Why, to which the answer just ain't 'forty-two'
And
lastly, Z for Zaphod, who is way hipper than you.
