A Nyrond Alphabet

A is for Abelard, who thinks he's in charge,
B is for Bors, tender-hearted and large,
C is for Caedmon, who runs the library,
D is for Dagobert, allergic to dairy.
E is for Eldred, a stickler for grammar,
F is for Florestan, the one with the stammer.
G is for Galen, who's given up vice,
H is for Hilary, who's not very nice.
I is for Ichabod, Idris and Ivor,
J is for Jubal, the oldest survivor.
K is for Kai, who's been missing a while,
L for Leodegrance, master of guile.
M is for Mabry, who shares Grendel's gaff,
N is for Nithing, whose name's a bit naff.
O for Orlando, eternal trainee,
P is for Potiphar--where can he be?
There isn't a Nyrond whose name starts with Q,
but R is for Ruthven, who's also quite new.
S is for Scythrop, who likes to complain,
And T is for Tully, our burden and bane.
U is for Ulfric, and also for Udo,
V is for Voltimand, proficient at Ludo.
W for Willibald who works between decks,
And there isn't a Nyrond whose name starts with X.
Y is for Ythrac, who's not of our race,
But honoris causa we saved her a place,
And Z is for Zander, who wrote down this rhyme,
And thanks you all kindly for your patience and time.
