Wordy Wednesday {The Letter "W"}

Welcome to the wonderful world of the letter "W"...and always on Wednesday!

– ♥ –

Back in the day of raising little kids, my four loved to listen to music. One of their favorite CASSETTES (I told you this was back in the day!) was from the Sesame Street gang, "Sing the Alphabet." They played this over and over and over in their cassette player and whenever we went anywhere I had to pop it into the cassette player in the mini-van. 

So for "Wordy Wednesday" the very clever lyrics that Bert sings to the National Association of "W" Lovers...ah, memories!

Bert: All right, all right, everybody. Settle down. Come on now. Welcome to the weekly meeting of the National Association of "W" Lovers. We are gathered here today to pay tribute to that great letter "W" and the wondrous sound it makes..."Wuh!"

Isn't that lovely? "Wuh!" Yeah, it makes the heart pound faster. All right.

Now if you turn to page four in the manual, we will sing the club's song. 

All right, everybody, turn to page four. That's it. All right. Now is everybody ready? Here we go.

(Music starts)

I'll begin. You can join in later. Here we go.

(Sung)

Oh, what is the letter we love?

What sound are we extra fond of?

It's not any trouble

You know it's a "W"

When you hear "Wuh-wuh-wuh-wuh!"

Without this fine letter

You couldn't say "wash"

Or "witch," "wax," or "wiggle"

My gosh! Huh!

There wouldn't be "wet," "warm," or "walrus"

Oh wow!

There wouldn't be "wood"

Would there now? Uh-uh!

Without this great "Wuh" sound

Well, "wink" would be "ink"

And "week" would be "eek"

Don't you see? Of course.

A fine word like "waffle"

Would turn out just "awful"

Oh, "W's" grand as can be.

All: So what is the letter we love?

The sound that we're extra fond of?

It's not any trouble

You know it's a "W"

When you hear "Wuh-wuh-wuh-wuh!"

(Music ends)

Bert: Oh wow! That was wonderful!
