I wanted to write about my recent tendency to either throw loads of blog postings at you frequently or simply ignore you for days on end. I couldn’t decide whether to call it “All or nothing” or “boom or bust.” Then I thought “oooh, those two phrases mean the same thing, and they start with consecutive letters of the alphabet. I wonder if I can come up with a similar phrase for every letter from A to Z? I wonder if that’s possible…”
It seemed like a lovely reason for distraction, so I rolled with it.
And then, just for a laugh, I decided to make it rhyme…
All or nothing
Boom or bust
Champagne or cherryade
Diamonds or dust
Everything/nothing
Full up or free
Gardens or deserts
Heaving/empty
In or outnumbered
Jam-packed or tossed
Killed it or kissed off
Landed or lost
Massive or tiny
Nubile or neutered
Over-ripe/unpicked
Packed/uncommuted
Queenly or commoner
Rollable/rigid
Sellable/stuck-on-shelf
Torrid or frigid
Used or discarded
Voluptuous/void
Wanted or wasted
XL/unemployed
And Z can be Zippee!
But also be Zzzzzz
This alphabet ode
Gave me blues, and a buzz
