Q

is for Question.

The Queen asks, “Why are Quinces yellow? And do they Quench the thirst? Does a hen.” she Queries, “think it Quaint when ducklings say Quack-Quack?” And she goes on asking, asking till the King gives her a Quelling look and tells her not to Quibble.

And what about you? Can you answer Questions? Did you know, for instance, that Quantities of Quill pens require a Quart of ink, not to mention a Quire of paper?

Have you heard that Quails Quaff water once a Quarter and always have Quadruplets?

Or that Quadrupeds, after Quitting a Quest, will dance the Quadrille without a Qualm, all standing in Queues?

“Isn’t it Queer that we Quarrel one day and the next we’re Quite friendly?” say Jane and Michael Querulously.

“Quiet, please,” says Mary Poppins, “and Quickly into bed, spit-spot.”

“Are our Quilts of good Quality, Mary Poppins? Why does a jelly Quiver and Quake?”

“A dose of Quinine,” she says Quizzically, “for the one who asks the next Question!”
