GIVE P's A CHANCE The Letter P
No letter's as pretty as P
So perfectly perched
Like a parakeet in a pear tree
Just picture a place with no P's
No picnics, no playgrounds
No pungent purple pickles
No people named Pippi

     Give P's a chance 
     Let P's shine 
     Over this planet 
     Pope to pomegranite 
     Parading in the park
     In your polka dot pants 

Put your letters up on a pedestal and see
None sparkles brighter than P
P P-P P-P . . .

Pet puppies have personalities
From the pugnacious pitbull
To the panicky pink poodle
To the perky pekingese

One letter is precious to me
It's a preference
A penchant
A predisposition
A private predilection
A purposeful propensity
A preposterous pomposity
My P proclivity
To be persnickety

     Give P's a chance
     Let P's reign
     All over Earth
     Peoria to Perth
     Pirouetting in pajamas
     Like a prancing Peter Pan

If P is the alphabet's president
Then me, I'm a permanent resident
Of this paradise paved with P's

What's that sprinkling over the plateau?
Sounds like tinkling on a piano
What's that twinkling over the rainbow?

    (pregnant pause)

Porcelain pot of gold
You've got to hold
Sweet P's
