Letter B
Christopher Cerf
when I find I can't remember
what comes after
A and before C
my mother always whispers
letter B
she told me B starts
big and bird and
ball and bat and battery
yes buh-buh-buh-buh-buh means
letter B
letter B letter B letter B letter B
she whispers buh-buh-buh means letter B
and when I feel downhearted
mother whispers
B words constantly
like bib Bob Bulb and bubble
letter B
now in my hour of darkness
there's a sound I know will comfort me
it's the buh-buh-buh-buh-buh of
letter B
letter B letter B letter B letter B
my mother whispers B words
letter B
letter B letter B letter B letter B
my mother whispers B words
letter B
letter B letter B letter B letter B
bless the buh-buh sound of
letter B
