SO, YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE TOUGH ENOUGH TO TRY TO LEARN ENGLISH?
When the English tongue we speak,
Why is break not rhymed with freak?
Will you tell me why it's true
We say sew but likewise few?
And the maker of the verse
Cannot rhyme his horse with worse?
Beard sounds not the same as heard.
Cord is different from word:
Cow is cow but low is low;
Shoe is never rhymed with foe.
Think of hose and dose and lose;
And think of goose and yet of choose.
Think of comb and tomb and bomb.
Doll and roll, and home and some.
And since pay is rhymed with say
Why not paid with said, I pray?
Think of blood and food and good.
Mould is not pronounced like could.
Wherefore done but gone and lone -
Is there any reason known?
To sum up all, it seems to me
Sounds and letters don't agree.
Keiva speaking here:
This post was tough, but now I'm through.
Angel, I pass it on to you.
