Top 7 Best Books To Teach English To Beginners in 2020

Our Queer Language

“ When the English tongue we speak,

Why is break not rhymed with freak?

Will you tell me why it’s true

We say sew but likewise few;

And the maker of a verse

Cannot cop his horse with worse?

Beard sounds not the same as heard;

Cord is different from word;

Cow is cow but low is low;

Shoe is never rhymed with foe.

Think of hose and dose and lose;

Doll and roll and home and some;

And since pay is rhymed with say,

Why not paid and said,I pray?

We have blood and food and good;

Mould is not pronounced like could.

Wherefore done but gone and lone ?

Is there any reason known?

And ,in short, it seems to me

Sounds and letters disagree.
