~Write Right~


I'm smiling now and saying, 'hi',
before I blow this mood sky high
my friends, now that I have you here
there's something I'd like you to hear
I find the english language odd
and often find myself quite awed
I sometimes even feel disgust
after the language I've discussed
It really makes no sense you see
that one should see the deep blue sea
or look up in the sky so blue
and feel a gentle breeze that blew
tricky spellings are hard to bare
I'd almost rather fight a bear
before he struck me with his paws
I'd simply ask him, 'please', to 'pause'
I WILL say, should you send me mail
feel free to fed-ex me a male
at very least, he'd help me haul
the boxes stacked up in the hall
and please inform when I'm the one
it could be I've already won
the english language can be fun, but
sometimes it just pains my butt
you ask, 'is there some rule you know?'
I simply have to answer no
to master english is a feat
you may find, in your mouth, your feet
which could, in fact, injure your heel
but, not to worry, it will heal
so, thanks for listening to my lesson
my goal, your confusion to lessen
thank you all for stopping by
and, now it's time to tell you, 'bye'

English is supposed to be one of the hardest second languages to learn. You admirably show one reason why.

You're so clever and creative...
very cool...
like a poetic nursery rhyme to teach "homophones"..you know...like schoolhouse rock  
this is a great idea and inspire
well done Vicky

There comes a point when youre not sure why youre still talking
I passed that point long ago
