Tell Me How You Love Me

TELL ME HOW YOU LOVE ME 

Tell me how you love me, she begged 
By writing some poetry. 
But don’t use the opening letter. 
Just use from Bee through to Zee. 

I could never resist those ch ...oh no! 
It includes the forbidden letter. 
I’ll need to find some synonyms 
To see it there’s something better. 

But the problem keeps recurring 
In every other line. 
The letter just keeps cropping up, 
Just when I think it’s fine. 

I’ve tried to complete this poem 
But I’ve found it much too tough. 
So I’ve come to this conclusion; 
I just don’t love you enough.

Wow, that letter does not appear at all in your poem! This must have been such a challenge to write... Such a clever poem.
