Every letter does not need an identity does it?

How many kids of an appropriate age to listen to such a story would know what the word "contour" means?

Sticks and stones may break my bones;
But whips and chains excite me..
So roll me over -
Tie me up -
And show me that you like me

who is to say the letters have g-rated lives? For instance, A is a hooker, and every one knows V is a serial killer.

w00t! First entry!

Which means I probably didn't interpret the directions correctly and will wind up disqualified or something. Oh well. I'll write another if that's the case.

Yes. Every letter does. You don't have to write one line devoted to each letter, but every letter must be mentioned. For humourus example if we were using numbers
why was 6 afraid of 7
because 7 8 9
like that only with letters.
Get it? I did say it was hard to explain. I will extend the deadline if nessacery.

My six year old nephew that liked the one I wrote knew what contour meant.

But this poem is for children. Talk about their day jobs, not the night life.

Every letter must be mentioned. You don't have to devote one line to each letter, but each letter must have a place.
