Missing Letters
I'm faced with quite a dilemma
Hoping someone can help me out
Over time I've used and abused all my letters
From top to bottom, in between, North to South
I tossed them all out on the paper
Many times quite recklessly
From left to right, black on white
Like they were nothing...A through Z
I've used some of them so often
It's hard now to tell what they were
Like is that a "B" or a "P" before me
Since I've about worn off the "B"s bottom curve
And the "Q" I always use
I bring into question as well
Could that be an "O" my goodness
When was it I tore off it's tail
But the main problem I have is with the "M"
From now on I'll be known as "Nike"
Since it can no longer stand on its own
Now that I've knocked off the entire right side
Can you now see where it is I'm coming from
As I slowly wear each letter down
Scribbling them out on the written page
Here and there and there about
Maybe what I need is a new alphabet
Then I can start all over with ease
So can anyone out there kindly help me
With lessons in Arabic or perhaps even Chinese
