Y Oh Why

“Y” is number twenty five in the alphabet Open armed between “X” and “Z” Two very unpopular letters It has to be said ! “Y” is a happy, versatile letter Welcoming all with open arms Yet “X” and “Z” dislike “Y” Jealous of “Y’s” charismatic charms “Why oh why”, sighs “Y” Am l stuck between these two? I cannot move within the alphabet So ,there is nothing l can do …. “X” and “Z” don’t venture far Rarely do they roam They just hang out in the alphabet “The Bet” is what they call their home! “Y” has strength of character A letter of great flexibility Arms wide open to all including “X” and “Z” Though to “Y’s” closest mates “Y” is known as “E” (E being the E sound …happ-y)
