PITY THE POOR LETTER "E"

Somebody has decided that the let
ter "e" is the most unfortunate letter
in the English alphabet because it is
always out of cash, forever in debt
never out of danger, and in hell all the
time. No little credit is due. however,
in that it is never in war, always in
peace. And we are deeply indebted to
this little letter, since it is the begin
ming of existence. the commencement
of ease, and the end of trouble. With
out it there would be no meat. no life.
no heaven. 1t is the center of honesty
and, altho il starts off in error, it ends
by making love perfect.
