A Vicious Little Steampunk Alphabet – L-Q

L – Llamas rhyme beautifully with “pyjamas”.
Unfortunately, nothing rhymes with “pyjamas”.

M – Megaladons are a favorite Lost World fauna;
Eat the whole thing (you know you wanna.)

M – Northmen aren’t period-correct for Victorian flare,
But since they’re Vikings, they don’t care.

O – Orcs assuredly would not pass
(Unless you make them out of brass.)

P – There are so many Penumbrae for us to spend time in;
We’re going to need a bigger Tellurian.

Q – Q’s for Quicksilver, pride of Mercury.
Dear Chirurgeon: Please don’t put any more in me.

R – Oh, oil’s measured by viscosity;
And Steampunk by Ridiculosity.

My name is Jeff Mach (“Dark Lord” is optional) and I build communities, put on events, and make stories come into being. I also tweet a lot over @darklordjournal.

I write books. You should read them!
