The Story of Y
Y is quite a curious thing,
It can be a vowel, consonant,
Or a variable for a math equation,
But few know the story of Y.
So it began,
Back in 1455,
When Y was born,
From mother I and father W.
But something wasn’t right,
With their little letter,
It was a hermaphrodite letter,
Which explains why,
It can be a consonant or a vowel.
Now father was mad,
And he yelled at the doctors,
Who were P, H, and D.
So he yelled,
“What happened
to my little Y?!
It’s not a consonant
or even a vowel.”
“We don’t know,”
answered P,
“what happened.
It’s the first time
we ever saw this.”
So little Y had many troubles,
It was picked on by many letters,
For not being one or the other,
Y’s father never liked it either,
Always regretting he had a letter.
Y in the word world,
Wasn’t doing so well,
Y was only called on,
To substitute for some vowel,
Never for a word of its own.
Till its chance finally came,
A few years later,
When there was a word needed,
An antonyms of the word “No,”
That’s when they chose “Yes.”
With this new word,
Y started to become quite popular,
New words were being made,
Such as yellow, yell, yard,
And even yawl.
Y was then asked to join the math community,
An honor granted to few,
The ones before him being X and Z,
Also two unpopular letters,
Y soon became good friends with both.
His fame also spread to the science community,
Where he is known with his good friend X,
He is representation of what makes a man,
That of a single Y chromosome.
More recently,
Y has been given a word,
That sounds like its name,
Along with appearing in it
Something granted only to U, A,
And his mom I.
Now you know the story,
Of a letter that was hated,
And was considered a freak,
But now he’s accepted,
And has many honors.
So take this story to heart,
And tell your little vowels and consonants,
The story of Y,
One many have forgot.
