Ahhhhh...ok, I misunderstood. Here are the numbers:

So, 35 lines of text:

Number of times letter 'a' occurs per line Frequency
0 0
1 1
2 0

Ah. Okay, I misunderstood the problem. I was giving
the fine reasons why the "number of vowels", as in the vowel
vs. consonant dichotomy, would not be Poisson. I don't
have any quick inspirations for the question, this way,
though dependencies will still matter.

I can still read the original post and be misled, though
the other reading does lead to a tougher question.

I imagine the "dependencies" would make the results
for poetry -- with additional rhyme and alliteration --
differ from those for prose.
