Hark to me, people, and now hear me do,
I've lost a dear friend: the letter ๐Ÿ†„.
Yes indeed, yo๐Ÿ†„ listened me correct,
This is worst at best, and everything is wrecked.
For I awoke to-day to q๐Ÿ†„ite a big frightโ€”
My tr๐Ÿ†„sty ol' typer-thing wasn't typing right!
All the pretty letters were working, save ๐Ÿ†„.
Down a whole vowel; my worst dreams were tr๐Ÿ†„e!
So "Blast!" I cried. "What crime be this?
If I'm witho๐Ÿ†„t ๐Ÿ†„, then I can't do j๐Ÿ†„stice
To my day job as a writer,
Or my night life as a fighter
Of everything online that's ๐Ÿ†„gly and sad.
I cannot tell a lieโ€”this is really, really bad!"
So I laid myself down on the gro๐Ÿ†„nd for a while,
And I wept for ๐Ÿ†„ there in tra๐Ÿ†„matized style.
I h๐Ÿ†„rt for ๐Ÿ†„; yes, I missed ๐Ÿ†„ like a friend,
Tho๐Ÿ†„ght of all the things I'd never write againโ€”
Things like f๐Ÿ†„nny, and y๐Ÿ†„mmy, and alphabet so๐Ÿ†„p;
H๐Ÿ†„mor, I. O. ๐Ÿ†„., and I love yo๐Ÿ†„.
I stayed there on the floor and time went by.
Presently eno๐Ÿ†„gh there was no more need to cry.
S๐Ÿ†„ddenly then I was str๐Ÿ†„ck by the tho๐Ÿ†„ght:
๐Ÿ†„ really did nothing to deserve what ๐Ÿ†„ got.
And j๐Ÿ†„st like that, my grief t๐Ÿ†„rned to rage
As I realized there was a war for me to wage!
๐Ÿ†„ did nothing wrong; 'twas the Apple God's sin!
The Apple God took ๐Ÿ†„โ€”so let the battle begin!
A hex ๐Ÿ†„pon thee, Apple God! May all c๐Ÿ†„rses fall on thee!
May yo๐Ÿ†„ ever r๐Ÿ†„e the day that yo๐Ÿ†„ took ๐Ÿ†„ from me!
I will get my revenge, or I will die trying!
Either Apple God or Iโ€”one of ๐Ÿ†„s is dying!

In loving memory of my laptop's ๐Ÿ†„ key.

May yo๐Ÿ†„ rest in peace forever in that great big keyboard in the sky.
