Analysis of Important "E"



The E walked up to the D
And very promptly spoke
“Nothing would be without me
Words would be a joke!”
“Flea would be fla,
Sea would be sa,
The earth and heaven could not be,
Without the important E”
And to that response,
The D replied,
“Without you important e,Th sa still wavs
And th fla flis
Th arth and havn would still b,
Without you important "E".
