Quirky Q

Queenly Q is waited upon by U 

Who follows its adventures

Like Sanchez did  Don Quixote’s.

The quiddity of a Q

Is that it must be followed by a U,

To make a sound word

Simply follow this rule.

Have no qualms.

Though quirky at first 

It might seem.

Don’t quail,  ’tis merely algebraic precision.

It ain’t no quagmire, calmly

Glimpse through the dictionary

Even though a quotidian job it may be. 

Q is made of halves two 

They are and W.
