Ella Minnow Pea

 

Ella Minnow Pea

was on her way to Z

it was on her way that she

ran up against the taller T

T obstructed X Y Z,

so Ella retreated to the E

now Ella Minnow Pea

will never learn her ABC's.

When I was growing up, I thought that elemenno p was a certain kind of letter, kind of like capital letters.

Were there other letters that were also elemennos? Was there a p that was not an elemenno?

I did, however, have the confident expectation that I would one day receive a concrete answer.

Much different today, when my questions are butterflies going from flower to flower.

Learning the ABC's
early on was a difficulty
but with the rhyme
I came to see
worlds of words
open up for me.
