So Many Letters For Six

First they gave me long A and Long I.           
Threw in Silent E oh, me, oh, my!
Capital P, and little p too.
What is a first grader to think and do?

When they name a child something marvelous like Serendiptiy Precious Doolittle and they have to write it ten times in first grade, it is torture especially if they sit next to: R.P. Ray.
