A to Z they ran the race
Hit the finish line
Exuberant, jubilant with a sense of
Achievement, they hugged one another
And grabbed the juice
Team effort paid off, they won the race
Parents happy, promised a movie and more candies
Community sports day ended on a high
When one youngster said, excuse me
And his team paused to look
Can we please say ‘Zee’ as in Zee TV
And stop splashing spittle saying Zed
But that’s how it’s said Zed, said his mate
Nope, its Zee, joined in another
My teacher said its Zed, pitched in another
The group split, juices down, candies forgotten
My teacher is right, no mine, no ours
They screamed
No candies, if you’ll fight, said parents
We don’t care
How dare he accuse our teacher!

Too funny! I wonder why they have different pronunciations for the same word! So which is it: Zed or Zee?! 😉

ahh Zee and Zed. I used to say Zee for the US clients, but after relocating to Sydney I have to learn saying Z again. They give real weird looks if you say Zee 😛
