THE SCIENCE FICTION ALPHABET

by Allen Glasser

Part Two—Conclusion

N is for Newton, the Gravity King,
Whose laws, in our mags, just don't mean a thing.

O's for Ourselves, who read science-fiction
We know what we like, and there's no dereliction.

P's for the Princess that's always on hand
To wed the brave Earthman who visits her land.

Q is for Quinn, the weird-story writer;
If he'd do science fiction his fame might be brighter.

R is for Robot, of whom much is said;
For many an author his antics have fed.

S is for Starzl, Schachner, and Sloane;
And let's not forget Doc Smith and Miss Stone.

T is for Time, a favorite theme
Which never grows stale—or so it would seem.
