Q is for Quake....which is what this post always makes me do

makes me Quake

Q never Quite Queues up

Most people do not have a single clue

how hard it is to find a name with ‘Q’

Tom, Dick and also Harry

yeah, Radheshyam and Parry

but Q doesn’t queue up, no can do.

Did Q ever give you a Greek god?

name a famous Roman Caesar? a cephalopod?

We can moan and grumble

but Q is not an example

of a letter that is abundant and broad.

Where exactly does Q come from?

Search from Greek Omega to Sanskrit Om

You won’t see it anywhere -

magicked from Latin n thin air

and the upstart’s made itself quite at home!

Let me give you some facts, plain and cold:

Q’s the second least common letter, all told.

Less than one percent of words

where Q is seen and heard

it clearly believes that silence is gold.

And no guesses for what's the least common letter - that makes me shake in my shoes too! 

Does anyone else here shiver and shake, Quiver and Quake when the time comes for the terrible-two baddy shoes (Qu) letters? Why does Q come in always coupled with U? What are your top Q-tips for getting over this speed bump in the A-Z?
