Dearest creature in creation,
Study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and
worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.
Finally, which rhymes with enough —
Though, through, plough, or dough, or
cough?
Hiccough has the sound of cup.
My advice is to give up!!!*
Thanks for
Advance
