  "A is ANTONY of PADUA, a Friar wise and kind;

He never had a penny, but he never seemed to mind;

He was very fond of reading, but the book he read the most

Was the book that tells of GOD, the Father, Son and Holy Ghost;

He was very fond of children, but the Child he loved the best

Was the little Infant JESUS, as He lay on Mary's breast;

And once when he was reading with the Gospel on a stand

Little JESUS stood upon it and caressed him with His hand.

Now that ANTONY'S in Heaven, if you ever lose your toys,

I advise you to invoke him, for he's good to girls and boys."

The Letter "A" is for armadillo, aprons, acorns and apples

A stands for Ape, for Arthur and Air.

       Why is A the first letter? It represents one of the commonest vowel sounds in ancient languages. Naturally the Phoenician alphabet makers selected a familiar object in the name of which this particular vowel sound was emphasized. Since food is of primal importance, it is not surprising to find that he chose the ox -- "Alef" (ah'lef), or rather the head of the ox, for the characteristics of animals are chiefly embodied in the head. Not only was the ox important as food but also as a beast of burden, for the ox had been harnessed to the plow centuries before the horse was domesticated. Thus one of the earliest and most important of man's friends among the brute creatures was honored.

       In making this letter repeatedly and rapidly they became careless and instead of crossing the letter V they tried to make it with one continuous scratching, hence when the Greeks became acquainted with it three to five centuries after its invention, the picture had deteriorated almost beyond recognition. They introduced balance and the V was inverted, and the cross-bar was retained between the lines. Unknowingly they were drawing the ox head upside down; and it remains so with us to this day. The Greeks called the first letter alpha, the Romans called it A (ah) and we call it A (ay), a sound it never possessed in Latin.
