Telephone Cobourg 119. 9tf _ ENGLISH SPELLING This English spelling is a mess To many kids like me, I guess, Whose mental pow'rs are pretty slow, Forgetting things he ought to know; For words that sound alike to me Have spelling queer, like "key" and "quay;" And if such words as "catalogue" Are right, then why not "dogue" and "frogue?" And if the spelling's right for "key," Why not for "fley" and "kney" and "frey?" Then, too, there's "rough" and "through" and "plough," So why not "blough" and "slough' "nought?" And neither can I tell you why We spell it "high" instead of "hy." Ofttimes I'v wondered if it's true You spell it "two" or "to" or "too." I ponder words like "hare" and "hair," As well as "air" and "heir" and "ere." Just when I think I've got them right, I find I am mistaken quight, For words I need to \mf in rhymes Are different than I flHik most thymes. The letters swim before my eyes, (I guess it's 'cause I am not weyes). Until my head, it throbs and aches; But still I make these bad mistakes. And so for reasons you can see This English spelling's hard on mee, For when I master, many a rule By studying spelling books at schule, I find exceptions, many a one; And learning them just isn't fone. So, since I'm really far too dumb To ever to perfection cumb, I'll spell the words the way I please And laugh if teacher disagrease. But if she takes me o'er her knee To spank the daylights out of kmee, I'll write a note to Premier Drew And say, "I, sir, appeal to yew, As minister of all our schools-- For Pete's sake, change these spelling rools."
