Opinion : The qui“zz”ical challenge of typing with a missing “z”

It’s cray and its any

But now I clearly see

What happens when your keyboard

No longer can say “z”

The other day I wanted

To write about the haes

Of allergies in August

And why I never walk corn maes

But when I read my words

Up there on that white screen

I was presently puleheaded

At the letters left unseen

What could be the problem?

What’s the source of this confusion?

Had my “z” indeed vanished

Or was it some delusion?

I looked again and tried

But it was almost mystical

How I could no longer type

“Dazzling, mezzanine or quizzical”

Or: “The city was abuzz

About the grizzly in the blizzard

And the dazzling jazz orchestra

From which the music was embezzled”

I haven’t got the fuzziest:

How without “z” can I type “fizz’

Is there anybody out there

With an answer to this quiz?

But wait, you say quite puzzled

How can it really be

That your laptop now is muzzled

If in your paragraphs we see

The letter that you say

Is now impossible to convey

And that you only now use

Letters from “Y” to “A?”

Thanks to modern innovation

And a creative perseverance

I can keep on writing “z”

Although it can be a nuisance

You can without a “z”

Write of eating pizza at the zoo

It may sound beyond amazing

But all you have to do

Is find a “z” now written

Somewhere on the Internet

Then you copy and you paste it

And you soon see that what you get

Is the ability to write

With confidence and zeal

Any word that has a “z” –

Then how “z”esty you will feel.
