Beware of Bossy E...
by Sarah J. CooleyGraphics and Font by Lettering Delights
Bossy e thought he was the big boss. He liked to pick on all the vowels at school. Each day, when short /a/ was adding, bossy e would sneak up behind him, KICK him right in the pants and make him say his own name! Each day, when short /e/ was playing with the class pet, bossy e would come up behind him and KICK him right in the pants. When short /i/ was measuring in inches, bossy e would...yep, you guessed it! KICK him in the pants! Even when short /o/ was studying an octopus and when short /u/ was having lunch--that Bossy e would KICK them in the pants. What a bully. Bossy e always growled the same thing: “Hey you short vowel! What’s your name?!” All the vowels would shriek: “A! E! I! O! U!”
Bossy e was even bossy at home! He kicked his cap and made it a cape. He kicked his bunny, and all it would do is hope instead of hop! He kicked his cat, and it turned into a girl named Cate! He kicked a bear cub and {whoosh!} it became a cube.
Beware of Bossy e. He is a very sneaky guy. He scares vowels into saying their own names. He wears a backwards cap, and kicks vowels in the pants.
