I love alliteration. I am certain every sentence sounds better with some sprinkling of the same starting consonant sound. Even better if you can end your book with a little alliteration: “So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” Anyway, enough of that nonsense. I thought I’d share one of my favorite songs, since I’m sure you literary folk can appreciate it. Here’s a YouTube video of Blackalicious’s “Alphabet Aerobics.”

(He’s also got another, shorter song, “A to G,” which you can listen to here.
If you’ve never heard the song before, I hope you enjoyed it. If this is old news and you’ve heard it before, well then I hope you enjoyed it again.
