Who? What? When? Where? Why?

Tautogram Poem

Willie wanders westward

Walla Walla, Washington

______________

Wily Wendy went Wyoming way.

Whereabouts? Wilson--

where Walter works

widgets.

______________

Whistling William woozy

with whiskey wrecks

Warren's Wagoneer whilst

"Witchy Woman"

warbles.

_______________

Waikiki waves

wash whale waste windward.

_______________

Worldy, weary, whiskered Winston,

whispers: "Whatever ... "

_______________

Wimple wearer Whitney worships

wing-ed warriors.

_______________

Woolgathering weedy Wally

wonders: "WTF?"

_______________

Wild, woke, Wallace

wearing worsted wool,

wades, wasted, whipping

Woody's Wildebeest.

_______________

Wanton Wanda walks

wondrous Winnemucca with Wilbur.

_______________

Were Wendy working

widgets with Walter,

we'd wonder why,

wouldn't we?

Well?

Wouldn't we?

_______________
