'I' before 'e' except after 'c'
Im afraid that rule wasn't helpful to me!
I'm deficient at spelling and find it absurd
The incomprehensible weirdness of words
I'm reintroduced to the seismic array
Of words that don't follow the rules everyday!
My daughter is eight and
I hope she is free
of this problem with words
that weighs heavy on me
My neighbour and I feel the the same it would seem
We discuss the dilemma whilst sipping caffeine
It was all very foreign when I was at school
Can you find the words that are breaking the rule?
Nice poem Stevie. I too wrote one on this subject, which was called, unsurprisingly 'Spelling' I thought you might like it. It doesn't make English any easier to follow, but it may give you a chuckle.
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
So cleverly true. Had me smiling from 'deficient' on.
