If only I'd lissend wen I wos at scool
I'd no how to punctooate – not be a fool.
Wood tell easily a vurb from a noun
and wot is an ajective? Joka or clown?
My sillabulls cownt - it is owt 'cause I stutta
That's hardlee a good excuse I heer ya mutta
and a lisp is also a speech impediment
that also wurks to yer detriment.
Good meater and rime are sumtimes acheeved
extra lettas appear in my wurds wen I snees.
If only I'd fosterd a penchant for tennis
I'd not be here trying to be C J Dennis.
