ABC Poem

First I found the poem is written in 1705. Therefore, you can change the vocabulary you like and near by our life. But there is no J line, it is very strange and a creative poem.

B was a Blind-man, and led by a Dog;
C was a Cutpurse, and liv'd in disgrace;
D was a Drunkard, and had a red Face;
E was an Eater, a Glutton was he;
F was a Fighter, and fought with a Flea.
G was a Giant, and Glutton was he;
H was a Hunter, and hunted a Mouse;
I was an ill Man, and hated by all;
K was a Knave and he rob'd great and small;
