Q

Coming out of today*s Domestic Violence training, I caught the end of NPR*s Day Six program.  Apparently a proposal has been made to change the point values of particular letters.  Except I only heard the end of the report.  I wondered all the way home about the fate of Q.  Thank God for Google.

A proposal has been made

To change the scoring

In Scrabble:

75 years old

And counting.

Z would be demoted

To six points,

X to five.

Only Q

Would stay the same

The prized letter

Among all letters.

Q

The Source letter

For a primary document

Still to be found.

Q

The all-knowing Being

On Star Trek

Next Generation

And beyond.

Q

The prized letter

Among all letters,

Particularly when it lands

On the triple word score.
