Can you picture these?  Imagine an...

Autarchy of anarchists or a
Blind of bats, bluff of gamblers, buff of weightlifters, bubble of balloons,
brat of boys, a
Crack of dope, cozy of comforters, carnage of killers, chaste of nuns, a
Dance of firelight, an
Effigy of coins, elegance of eagles, excrement of swear words, a
Fey of fairies and feathers of clouds, a
Giggle of girls, clowns, and tickles, gift of grandparents, grief of survivors, greed of investors, grave of pesticides, a
Hold of wrestlers, holocaust of wars, an
Ideology of idiots, a
Jacket of ebooks, a
Keep of broken promises, a
Larceny of innocents, a
Machismo of viagra, a
Nemesis of necessities, an
Obsession of fanatics, a
Pipe of poppies, plot of assassins, priest of pedophiles, a
Quiver of archers, a
Rash of allergies, a
Sizzle of rashers, sparkle of stars, scourge of scandals, a
Toast of tipplers, an
Uproot of immigrants, a
Venery of visionary verbiage, a
Wring of washers, web of weavers,a
Xenophobia of relatives, a
Yawn of insomniacs, and a
Zoo of zygotes

I did and now I need to go and take a nap.  Don't blame me...

I especially like "giggle of girls" and "Yawn of insomniacs".

Hey, John, I went crazy with this prompt...I am so glad you responded with your likes.

I enjoy the gaggle of gigglers.
Granny Janny Feb 10, 2013, 1:51am UTC
I went crazy with this prompt. It was too fun.

I was rather partial to the bubble of balloons.

Thanks for posting to the Wall of Nonsense at The Triple Name Club where it's now featured.

Wow! I'm speechless! A monumental achievement! Thanks for playing SunWinks! (Rash of allergies...LOL)

A virtual vocabulary of veneries. Fun.

....JANNY, YOU are the JEWEL of JUXTAPOSITIONING...WONDERFUL!

Barbera, you are the bee's knees of beautiful breathtaking Belles Lettres!
Ann Marcaida Feb 10, 2013, 1:19pm UTC
OMG, my brain is on fire! The zoo of zygotes is for real (well, sort of-- frozen sperm of endangered species). Ideology of idiots= teabaggers.

Thanks for sharing with Gather's Luminous Writers and Artists. Featured.
Granny Janny Feb 10, 2013, 1:44pm UTC
Thanks for the feature Ann. I wish that you would've recommended it too. So I wrote the majority of my lines last Sunday and later decided to make it an abcderian. I used a dictionary to get my missing alphabet letter words and had a fun time turning them into venerial terms. It was indeed the definition of zygote that prompted the "zoo" and the tea party was in my mind for the ideology of idiots.
Ann Marcaida Feb 10, 2013, 1:56pm UTC
Sorry to neglect hitting the button. Thanks for the reminder. Upward and onward!
Granny Janny Feb 10, 2013, 3:32pm UTC
And thanks for coming back. I gratefully acknowledge your precious seconds of this Sunday moving quickly toward the workday Monday.

Mustafa Demiri Feb 19, 2013, 12:21am UTC
I've always loved learning the collective names of animals, groups of people, and things... my favourites are a bluff of gamblers, a Keep of broken promises, an Obsession of fanatics, Quiver of archers, a web of weavers, and a yawn of insomniacs... Well done and extremely fun.
Granny Janny Feb 19, 2013, 12:50am UTC
Mustafa, if I have given you an iota of the pleasure your poetry has given me, then I am well satisfied and thank you, warmly for your generous comment.
