English spelling

Елена Малиевская Обухова

English spelling is so funny,
Lots of letters aren't read,
English people are so cunning,
They are hard to understand.

They write measure, read four sounds,
They write leisure - all the same,
Three of seven teacher counts,
It's a very silly game.

In the "sight","fight","light"and "night",
We don't read "g","h" at all,
It's not wise but it is right,
Thank God for these mercies small.

Language tricks can't be quite got,
We have to obey,
And we'll tell you "thanks a lot",
If you prompt the way.

This way shows a special tool,
"MAnchester", is written right
With the spelling "Liverpool"
Use without fright...,

English language is too hard...
Trying Russian - feeling mad!
While learning Pascal or Basic,
you'll soon be totally crazy!
I don't want to study! I'm too lazy!
Chemistry and Physics
are making me dizzy,
stupid and wickid!
Dig it! Dig it! Dig it!

:)))))

We learn English from the pram,
Study it with patience,
Every day we have to cram,
Fed on mental rations....

Thanks for such a nice improvisation. Come again. Good luck to you!

...I learn English from the spam...
Now in English I'm a ram!
