Boviosity!

Man, I've been getting a lot accomplished during my daily two hours round trip commute. I've been driving all the way in the last few days instead of taking MARTA, and so I decided to perfect my backwards alphabet. This was a skill my father used to show off and I realized a few months ago that I had never emulated it.

Well, while doing these mental calisthenics over the last few weeks I realized that the natural tendency, to sing it to the tune of the normal alphabet song, just doesn't work. (Dad never sang it, that I recall, just spoke the letters.) Singing it, you have to find places to up-syllabilate the letters in order to make the thing come out, or just bounce on "A" 3 times at the end. (Your experience may differ.)

So anyway, last night I came up with a great tune for the alphabet backwards, or as I like to call it, the zedygrec. Now if only there were some way to share it here. Oh well, I'll find a way. It's pretty cool - Tasha LOVED it, and the neighbor kids couldn't stop laughing (or backing away). It sounds like something the Oompa Loompas might sing, or the villains in a half-hour animated Dr. Seuss special.
