There was a young duck known as Cholmondely
Whose feathers were smooth and quite colmondely.
But he started to moult,
That plucky young poult,
So he hid, cos he felt very bolmondeley.

A lady called Olive de Verney
Who worked as an attorney
Found herself in a mess
When her boss got quite fresh...

Oh, so we're not only going to try to be difficult, but we're going to get immediately cheeky when we see our aim is accomplished, is that it?


Very Happy

she ran off on a 4-wheeler gurney

now gurning in Britain is strange
pulling faces in a horrible range

(gurning is a strange occupation of pulling peculiar faces in a competition - often with the face framed by a toilet seat - the occupation of a small minority I hasten to add - typing gurney just made me think of it)

not as vulgar as mooning
(which I am lampooning)

No offense intended, snood, but the Brits pronounce that name as 'Chumley.'

and I found this:
There was a young fellow named Cholmondeley,
Whose bride was so mellow and colmondeley
That the best man, Colquhoun,
An inane young bolqufoun,
Could only stand still and stare dolmondeley.

They shouldn't. I started that one about Poughkeepsie because I used to think it was kEEpsie, but when I finally went there discovered it was kIpsie. It's good to learn. Which is why I direct you to the website
http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/bywater/ee_res9a.htm
for even weirder British pronunciations.

My dear sister-in-law who works in a government office in Canada once sent me a poem, I think it was, which was written to illustrate the many strange anomalies in english spelling and pronunciation and the many pitfalls for the unwary made possible by the imperfect understanding of homophones. I will try to retrieve a copy for you, as I recall it was very amusing.

It seemed to be P'kipsie. But I was there while escaping from NYC on 9/11 so my whole attention wasn't on it.

The limerick is still there for the finishing!

Is that you back from the East, McT?? Nei ho?

There was once a Tibetan lama
Who owned an Anean llama
As Groucho Marx exclaimed
that spelling is maimed!
Is it a one or a two LL lama?

The sea was rough
She saw a chough..

When Goldilocks went to sea
Just to see what she could see
The sea was rough
She saw a chough
And let out a yelp in high C.
(C sharp, that is)
