The correct way to utter your Z
Is dependent on where you were bred
In the Land of the Free
They say it as 'zee'
In Blighty we'd rather say 'zed' :rolleyes:

It's a sign of our breeding, you see
To say 'zed' and not to say 'zee'
The Germans say 'tset'
The French also 'zed'
Outnumbering one with the three!
 
There's a North Forest girl, named Eulalia
Her prose is never a failure
If she die on the Cross
It would be our great loss
But the thought it does greatly excite her

There's a drunken old codger named Tree
To be sober he never may be
To drink rye he much do aspire
Till it looks like he soon will expire
But he still makes young girls Crucifee
 
Now for an old style Limerick:-
When thatte Seynt George hadde slain ye Dragon,
He sate him downe forninst a flagon;
And wit ye wel
It soone befel
He had a bien pleasaunt jag on.

This one, note that Beauchamp is pronounced Beacham:-
Said a bad little youngster named Beauchamp:
“Those jelly-tarts how shall I reauchamp?
To my parents I’d go,
But they always say ‘No,’
No matter how much I beseauchamp.”

This old saw relates to Cambridge:-
There was a young fellow from Kings
Whose mind was on heavenly things
His peak of desire
Was a boy in the choir
With an arse like a jelly on springs
