    I love this poem! I haven't seen it in forever. It's a real tongue twister if you try to read it out loud!

    Thanks for posting it.

    Thank you for this link. I have an internet buddy from Aberstwth Wales that I shared it with. We have had a laugh riot comparing how she pronounces the words, vs how I say them. She told me she just loves my "American accent"! Lol!

    I've heard that English is the most complicated language there is to learn. That really shows you that its true

    If you liked this poem, some books that might interest you are: "Woe Is I" by Patricia T. O'Conner and" Eats, Shoots and Leaves". (Don't remember the author.) Who knew reading about grammar could be so funny.
