Cold Æsh
An A and an E, glued together,
But why ?
So how are we meant to say it, this guy ?
Best leave it alone for Danish and Latin –
Round here, we don’t need our A’s to fatten.
Save ligatures for when we’re putting a sign up –
Though why do the crossbars never quite line up ?
All-in-all, it feels so confused
And æsthetically ugly – oh, that’s where it’s used !
