Mnemonic for Middle Egyptian Alphabet

The vulture from the reed leaf flew
And landed on the reed leaf two
The arm which reached the quail chick's foot
Then reached a stool and on it put
A horned viper!
The owl above the water swooped
It's mouth as an enclosure drooped
And dropped the rope - a big descenta!
Upon the floating there placenta.
Animal bellies and bolts of doors
And folded cloth may be in stores
But pools and hills and basket lands
Are seldom far from old jar-stands.
A loaf of bread is not a hobble
A hand can't make a cobra bobble!

Not Really a Double Post

I decided to add the Mnemonic to the top of the page as my post with it from today will slowly gravitate to the bottom as I add more posts. See - thinking ahead *LOL*

This was written for me by my husband in an attempt to help me memorize the alphabet and it is quite catchy!
