The chaos
Capoem about the chaos of the English language Dearest creature in creation,
Study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse. It will keep you, Suzy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
Queer,fair seer,hear my prayer,
Pray,console your loving poet,
Make my coat look new,dear,sew it!
Just compare heart, beard, and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word,
Sword and sward, retain and Britain. (Mind the l atter, how it’s written.)
Made has not the sound of bade;
Say,said,pay,paid,laid but plaid.
Now I surely will not plague you
With such words as plaque and ague.
But be careful how you speak:
Say gush,bush,steak,streak,break,bleak, Previous,precious,fuchsia,via,
Recipe,pipe,studding-sail,choir;
Woven, oven, how and low,
Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.
Hear me say, devoid of trickery,
Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore, Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles,
Exiles, similes, and reviles;
Wbolly,bolly,signal,signing
Same,examing,but mining,
Scholar, vicar, and cigar,
Solar, mica, war and far;
From”desire”:desirable admirable from “admire”Lumber,plumber,bier but brier,
Topsham,brougham,renown but known, Knowledge,done,lone,gone,none,tone,
One, anemone, Balmoral,
Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel; Gertrude, German, wind and mind, Scene, Melpomene, mankind. Tortoise,turquoise,chamois-leather, Reading,reading ,beathen,beather.
This phonetic labyrinth
Gives moss,gross,brook,brooch,ninth,plinth. Billet does not end with ballet, Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.
Blood and flood are not like food,
Nor is mould like should and would. Discount,viscount, load and broad, Toward, to forward, to reward. Ricocheted and croqueting,croquet?
Right!And your pronunciation’s OK Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve, Friend and fiend, alive and live.
Hugh but bug and bood but boot, Buoyant,minute but minute.
Would it tally with my rhyme
If I mentioned paradigm? Liberty,library beave and beaven, Rachel,acbe,moustache,eleven. We say ballowed but allowed, People,leopard,towed but vowed Mark the difference,moreover, Between mover,plover,Dover, Leeches,breeches,wise,precise, Chalice but police and lice. Camel,constable,unstable, Principle,disciple,label,
Petal,penal and canal,
Wait,surmise,plait,promise,pal. Suit,suite,ruin.circuit,conduit Rhyme with “shirk it”and “beyond it”
