Extending this, can there be found a single image that can be representative of all letters of the alphabet?

A is for A Xylohphone

B is for the Band in which I will play the Xylophone

C is for the all the Concerts in which I will play the Xylophone

D is the for the Disappointment my parents showed for my selection of the Xylophone

.

.

.

M is for the Mallets, used to play to Xylophone

.

.

.

W is for the time Wasted, learning to play the Xylophone

X is for the way the Mallets are held whilst playing the Xylophone

Y is for Why did you choose to dedicate so much time to playing a Xylophone?

Z is for the Zoo to which the Xylophone was donated as entertainment for the chimpanzees

Just having the stream-of-consciousness writing above, I think it should also turn into the story of the eventually fatal decline of enthusiasm for the instrument.

Q is for the Quiet my parents beg me for.

R is for the Resolve with which I continue to play.

S is for the Sadness that results.

T is for when I got Thrown out of the house at 16 with nothing but my xylophone.
