I cannot duplicate Alex's doggerel, but I can try for some shaggy doggerel:
The leader of the D-firn pulled out his small L-firn as he crossed the C-firn, from which he could look down upon the K-firn, alongside which was an M-firn skirting the H-firn. He N-firned. The B-firn hid what looked almost like an A-firn, particularly since a great deal of it was F-firn; he mused briefly that he could have used some of it for G-firns, but he would have to use O-firns to hold the crossing pieces together to protect his group’s I-firns from the dessicating effects of the P-firns. Perhaps when they reached the shore they would have to use their L-firns to open up the E-firns on their boat for the recaulking operation, which would allow them to sail across the channel to the closest telefirn, with which he would ask his control for permission set up the J-firn, provided his men could find a Q-firn in which to hide the antenna. The area they had found on this island had not actually been a Q-firn, resembling more an A-firn, which was totally useless to him. Darned firners all wanted a piece of the action, he thought to himself, but you can’t get them to recognize the critical difference between a W-firn and an A-firn.
