Missing

can you work out quickly 
what this script omits? 
I'll drop a hint to assist you 
so you don't fall to bits 

your vision is focusing 
upon this wordy scroll 
mind working frantically 
taking a mighty toll 

I will not laugh at you 
if you cannot fathom it 
a unit of 26 is missing... 
just look at what I've writ 

if this conundrums solution 
is simply far too obvious to you 
I will bow down to your skill 
and colossally high IQ!

Hi, Julie, I love your poem and it would have placed high in my contest, but you missed an "e"... if you can't find it, (I've) left you a clue.
