Y NOT

Why is there no letter Y in the Greek alphabet?
Is that a fact?
Some words would not be intact,
Or be understood,
Only the Greeks would.

How would the Greeks spell spy?
What letter would suffice,
When the letter Y is needed.
Has it been superseded?
It never existed or was blacklisted,

That is not known,
Or clearly shown.

How will a Greek super sleuth,
Be able to spy?
Without a Y in their E.E
They may never know why,
And their profession will DIE.
