A post by new member ABC reminded me of the old parlor game in which you compose ditties using, as much as possible, letters in lieu of words. Does anyone else recall these?

Here's a favorite:

A B C D puppies?
L, M R no puppies.
O S M R,
C M P N?

11 wuz a racehorse
22 wuz 12
22 11 race
22 11 2

(Thanks Mum!!)

A variation upon your "A B C D puppies?".....
