Each I Have I Each

Each I Have I Each
Check out that for forwards and backwards

Was weirdest Game of I ever had heard
What if I were to come up with a word
That use of poor language could cure
What once was so simple, plain and pure.

Exactly what was it word may have meant
That is known by a human who is intelligent
Enough to be able to turn pages of a book
Read down to last word after taking a look.

For how much longer will you have waited
Until you discover words were consolidated
As you read more and more started to see
Word you were reading was long as can be.

Already knowing you were a wise old owl
Saw that word was comprised of one vowel
And even though you still were all knowing
Anywhere at all you seemed to be not going.

Then again you would thoroughly try and try
Finally did discover word and vowel were "I"
After looking at all of the "I's" in a long list
What you discovered was you were an egotist.

Both a word and vowel were in your vocabulary
Like things of all certainly seeming so scary
If an entire page of "I's" you were to mention
You not I would be center of everyone's attention.
