What the Digamma?

Polyphloisboisterous Homer of old
Threw all his augments into the sea,
Although he had often been courteously told
That perfect imperfects begin with an e.
But the poet replied with a dignified air,
"What the Digamma does any one care?"

- Schoder & Horrigan, A Reading Course in Homeric Greek II, 184
