English is a language
Designed two confuse
And that is the reason why
We like too use
Different spellings four
The same sounding word
Even though that is sew
Obviously absurd.
Wee still hang on too
Our idiosyncrasies
And will never allow
Anyone two ease
The burden of spelling
On hapless foreign folk.
Inn fact we find there problem
Something of a joke.
Without are awkward spelling
They wood learn English even faster,
For ours is an easy language two learn
But an impossible won to master.
