A is for the angstrom
a distance very slight
B is for magnetic field
C is the speed of light
D is for derivative
E is energy
F is for a vector force
G is the constant of gravity
H is for Planck's constant
a quantum mechanical quirk
I is for moment of inertia
J is for Joule, a unit of work
K is Boltzmann's constant
for an ideal gas
L is for inductance
M stands for mass
N is an indefinite number
O is a type of hot blue star
P stands for pressure
Q is electric charge
R is another gas constant
different from the first
S stands for entrophy
the fate of the universe
T is absolute temperature
U is atomic mass
V is for velocity
W is the weight something has
X is the abscissa
Y the ordinate
Z is the impedance
for current that alternates

Now I said my ABC's
Let me have my PhD!
