ABC and 123 are all most common and often heard,
the first numbers and letters that in kindergarten we learned.
Remember in school they'd call your name alphabetically?
If the prize was sweet and we started with A, we'd celebrate with glee.
But if we were U like Ursula, you waited and waited and yawned.
And when your time finally came the best was usually gone.
But if instead we start at the end and not at the beginning,
there'd be a chance for UVW and 1 million and 3 to be grinning.
Prompted by Poets United: The Thursday ThinkTank: "The 3rd letter of your first name"
My first name is Lauri so the 3rd letter is U!!!
My poem is short and sweet and pays honor to the numbers and letters and the end, not the beginning.
