Re: Gumbud Leisurely Scribbles (part 1)
This 'English Comp' is a strange language,bro;
I'm doing my best to master it though.
I'll keep chopping back weeds with my literary hoe,
until I earn my degree from the stuff what I know.
I've nearly achieved it-soon I'll break through.
It's an interest that hopefully will gain me a 'blue'.
I'm surprised other people aren't fascinated too,
when they look at the things we make English words do.
Take 'doe',dough' and doh!' -and they're just for example
One sound but three spellings-and that's just a sample.
Or perhaps you prefer the words 'through' 'grew' and 'blue'?
Once more three spellings-but they're just one sound,too.
Then,of course,we have the 'same spelling,different sound'.
I'm pretty sure you know some,coz they're all around.
The old standard favourites are 'dough' 'though' and 'bough',
...but I'm boring you...so we won't go into that now[!]
