Time for the first edition of the “RHP Gashlycrumb Tinies”. For those of you who are not familiar with the The Gashlycrumb Tinies, it consists of a series of rhymes about small children who suffer various deaths. Each child has a name beginning with a different letter of the alphabet, and their grim fates are arranged alphabetically by name. Each fate is also accompanied by one of Edward Gorey's macabre drawings. Sample lines: "E is for Ernest who choked on a peach. F is for Fanny sucked dry by a leech. G is for George smothered under a rug. H is for Hector done in by a thug."

The rhymes are done in couplets, meaning every two lines rhyme.

If you need more clarification, you can see Gorey’s original masterpiece at: http://users.aol.com/emarko/gorey.html

Note: In this version, the named individuals do not necessarily have to meet with a tragic accident. Letters should go in order. Pictures are helpful, but not mandatory.

I’ll start…


A is for Arrakis, who ate too much food.

But we are already past "A", so what would we do with a goat?
