When I Died

When i died, hush bequeathed the Scrabble Board The once weighty tomes floated off cramped shelves Whilst married letters argued midst themselves Phonics quivered sans the vowel adored O' warm vowel with the prominent dot Disarrayed lost words bowed their heads and cried On that sonant solemn day when i died Shrouding the dot with a forget-me-not Ill-fated, O' How could i bear such strain Replaced without heart in a scrabble game From die to dye, opponents scored higher Of y's bold encroachment on i's domain And when i died in Craig, one must exclaim Replaced by a y, does it create Ire?
