Odd One Out and Find The Lady

[juliefer]

I'm stuck on two quiz questions that I'd really appreciate help with.

Which is the odd one out of these letters and why - B C F H I K N P S U V Y?

The second question asks for the name of the person who wrote a well-known poem entitled ' Poor Old Lady'. I've never heard of the poem and can't find any reference to it and it is not a poem of a similar title by W C Williams or the anonymous one about a lady swallowing a fly etc.

Thanks for any help.

N - all the others are the chemical symbols for elements Boron, Carbon etc.

[bibblebub]

scrub my answer that's totally wrong

[bibblebub]

...but maybe, on a similar vein, they are all single letter chemical symbols but K (potassium) is the only one which isn't the same as the first letter of the element it represents.

Thanks very much bibblebub. That sounds good to me and I'd never have thought of it.

Perhaps the "Poor Old Lady" poem is the original by Rafael Pombo. See http://en.wikipedia.o..._(la_pobre_viejecita)

Thanksvery much for your help too, salty. I hadn't found that poem and it seems as if you could be right.
