R is for Rondel - Journey from A-Z

This journey from A to Z
Coming Quickly to an End
Much energy I did Expend
Yet Worth It All You See

I hope you learned from me
New things to comprehend
This journey from A to Z
Coming Quickly to an End

I’m confident we all agree
This journey we recommend
At the risk I might offend
Where is this much fun “free”
This journey from A to Z
