It’s not easy being the letter Z

I’m always last when the alphabet’s read

I wish I was a C an F or a P instead

But I’m not

I’m the letter Z

I’m zigzag shaped like a lightening bolt

Or a capital N on its side

Though you don’t find me joining many words

I’m really a friendly guy

(Well that’s what other letters have said)

I’m the letter Z

I’m in `zip’ and `zap’ and `zebra’ too

In a `pizza’ I appear twice

I’m often put in place of an S

For example in `recogniZe’

Especially in the USA

Where `zee’ is what they always say

When they speak of me

Who gives the buzzzzzzzzzz sound to a bee

That’s buzzing round your head?

I do

I’m the letter Z

I live far far away

From the letter A

But next door to the Y

I'm not in between the two

Like the letter Q

I’ve no dot like a small letter `i’

And no symmetry like an O

If all the letters stood in order in a row

I’d be the last you’d get to know

I come out of your mouth or nose with a zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

When you snore in your bed

Because I’m the letter Z

I am the letter Z
