To ask for help solving this riddle.. or whatever it is

[Riddlestumped]

Look it’s not even really a riddle but it’s driving me fucking bonkers. I’ve seen it posted by a friend of a friend on fb (they were tagged).

I know it sounds like a bunch of gibberish but you’re supposed to work out the pattern in the words or how each word or line links to the other. It’s really got me stumped. It’s something to do with (as the clue down the bottom says) skipping forwards and backwards in alphabetical order I think?

It goes:

MIND THE GAP

A curious entity, God.

(I know my opinion)

Quakers! Scientologists! Unitarians!

Whatevvvs!!!

Yawn ……

ZEALOTS!!!!

Xenophobes voicing total rubbish.

Pfffttt

No luck?? Jeeeeesus!!!!

HOP FORWARDS!
DODGE BACKWARDS!

(End riddle) any ideas?

Each word starts with different letter of alphabet and all are there?

The first half, each word starts with a consecutive letter of the alphabet with one missed out each time. A (B missing) C (D missing). The last half is the opposite with the rest of the letters originally missed out 😀

But the last half goes backwards with Z first and B last :)

Each word in first half is in alphabetical order skipping a letter, the 2nd half it reverses and skips 2 letters back to beginning.

The first letter of each word is in alphabetical order, if you read it order of: first word, last word, second word, second to last word etc

Oh no, i missed ‘mind the gap’ and only read a couple of lines - never mind🤣

Third post because I have never been so invested but this actually works if you skip ‘mind the gap’ - maybe you’re meant to ignore that line (or ‘step over it’ like you would a gap)

Isn’t it just a poem of sorts? Like the kind you can read forwards and backwards?

It can be read forwards or from bottom up?

What @Geraldgee said. Skipping alternate letters up to 'yawn' then from 'zealots' onwards it goes back up through the missed letters.

Thank you!

I think this is it. Thank God, the title gave me flashbacks to Boswell!!!

I think “Mind the Gap” is just the title and it’s giving a clue to the pattern.
