Notes About The Poem

The Letter E

Today we celebrate the letter E.
The most common letter in our alphabet….
If our alphabet was a band
E would be its majorette!

Since the creation of our alphabet…E has been our friend.
Without E…Einstein has no theory… 
Earth has no beginning….
and life would have no end.

Without E we’d have no empathy…
no evolution
E…as a letter…there’s just something about it”
why…do you suppose…there is no E in war 
but we can’t spell peace without it?

So if we’re looking to improve the quality of life…
Everyone’s quality
Every you
And every me
What if, every time we use the word quality…
We begin it…with an E.
