Alliteration ain't always agreeable
"Alliteration 'ain't' always agreeable – although apparently alliterations are admirably accepted…
Some teachers tell us to try it - "tis a technique tried and true" – (though some may try to deny it) they thank us when we do
Few folks fare fairly when fumbling to fit phonics firmly in file
So the sound stays behind after successive words, solely set on being heard
But babbling baloney can and may,
Possibly beat brain from your expose
Especially if the epic is epically immersed in an exasperating endeavour at old English verse
(With vowels and consonants, now that's far worse)
Waffling words without witty worth wails for wisdom
Mentioning a matter as major as this
May mend one's views (which might be amiss)"
Well, that's a view of what some would say… but I declare:
Alliteration is okay; don't let this piece lead you astray
That is of course in moderation so don't succumb to the temptation
Of overly overloading odes with this overused method
'Cause critics clearly can't be expected to cope with copious alliteration
Just remember to hold those letters – that will make your piece much better
Use it one, two, three times (not fourteen or twenty nine)
And perhaps it would be better if it weren't with rhyme
After all, alliteration ain't always agreeable…
