THIS POEM WILL PUT A SPELL ON YOU
WORDY GURDY MAN



Rhythm is a word most find distasteful

On account of its strange “h” and “y” placement

A special word as it contains no vowels

Its applied to music and the workings of your bowels



Deity is a word that breaks the mould

Its difference makes sense once the story is told

“I” before “e” except after “c”

A simple rule that’s plain to see

But when there’s a scene

With a “d” to be seen

It catches the eye

That “e” comes ‘fore “i”



Manoeuvre is a pain because of its diphthong

Vowels squashed, saving space cos its too long

In the midst of discussion it may be construed

As a vacuum that no women can use.



Diarrhoea is a word that nobody likes

Its hard to spell with connotations of shite

It also sounds like “it’s dire ‘ere”

Confusing again if you dye your ear!
