Silent

“I'm really fed up with my name” said the Gnat
that silent 'G's really a pain,
a complete waste of ink, just there hanging around,
from my point of view, what do I gain?”
“Hey, give it a rest” said his host for the day,
“ you're in the same boat as I am,
at least your useless letter is stuck at the front
not the back, like mine”, muttered the lamb.
“Oh for Pete's sake stop moaning, you're not badly off
with your silent letters, you two,
it's worse when the one you've got does get pronounced
and makes you sound daft” said Gnu.
“ You're lucky your letters are stuck front or back,
not finished off with just one vowel,
but I'd hate it to be the first one in my name”
“Oh, go and get stuffed” said the Owl.
