The xlphxbet

Life Without The Letter A Contest Winner 
 
We must not in this poem see
the letter which, preceding "B",
we choose to shun, reject, omit—
it's evil, so we'll not use it.

Now "D" is fine, "X" is superb;
but every single noun or verb
within our verse, for worse or better
will not, nohow, enclose this letter.

The vowels, we're quite free to use
but one, so you must wisely choose.
Try E or I or O or U,
just let the other scoundrel stew.

Begin with "Z", then work to front;
we find the end, then stop the hunt.
The letter we term "number one"
won't be there— see, the job is done!
