That's Quite Enough

It was Q-day, and as I quietly questioned myself about the subject of my post, I was overrun by a quantity of queer and quarrelsome Q-words.

"Quit, it," I said, "None of your quackery.  I have a quality piece to compose."

They were quite adamant and would not be quitted.  I could not quarantine my brain long enough to cogitate on more serious Q-subjects.  I could not quash the inundation of obscure Q-words that were quibbling in my mind for preeminence.  I was quite overcome.

"I am on a quest for excellence," I complained, "I will not get caught up in a quagmire of queer quips and crazed queries from you.  Begone."


What can a writer do when the words run out of control, but quiver?  You cannot quell them, they become the master, you the slave to their quirky and quixotic ways.

I tried, oh I tried to quench the flow of Q-words, but they would not be quenched.  They became more querulous and quarrelsome as they queued up to escape my brain.

It was like a quartet of quarreling quidnuncs on a quest to quite overrun the page and take control of my writing.  I felt queasy.  All I had wanted was to quickly compose a quality Q-post.  My quadriceps were aching from my gym workout and I longed to quaff my quart of tea and cogitate.

I felt queasy with concern over the situation.  Were my qualifications as a blogger good enough to pacify my readers?  Would they acquiesce and accept the takeover by a quintillion Q-words?  I had my qualms.

"Cease this quackery," I bellowed.  "Your behavior has put me in a quandary.  I know nothing of quants, quaggas, quarks or quantum physics, so I cannot compose a cogent post on those learned subjects but I desire to create the quintessential blog post on the letter Q.  I cannot do this if you continue to cast up this crazy quilt of Q-ness in my face."

I was caught in a quagmire of Qs and there was no escape.  I was quaking with anger, but knew the battle was lost.  The quaint Q-words had won the day.  My quest for quality was all for nought.   I felt like a quack, but pressed "Publish".
