Not a fan of the second one. The first line doesn't have enough syllables and the whole rhyme scheme requires that you mispronounce Z.

"mispronounce" Z. Yeah no, anyone who calls it "Zed" are the ones mispronouncing it. Z rhymes with G, P, and V in the alphabet song. End of story.

Zed technically came first. Greek Zeta -> French Zede -> English Zed.

But I'll do anything to get away from French influence on my language

I respectfully submit that the US should send tutors to teach English to our wayward Anglophone brothers.

While I am part of the 'zed' group, there is no "correct" pronounciation for anything because it all depends on accent and culture. Just embrace the diversity.
