X is the letter of the day in the Blogging from Atoz Challenge.
Xebec
There once was a xebec named Xenial
With xenagogues less than congenial.
All their “guests” turned pale xanthic;
Walking plank made them frantic.
Methinks a cruise ship’s far more genial.
An exception would be the Titanic;
Then still one would certainly panic.
