How Well Can You Read?
by SummerDale Beckstrand, 1998-2000

Suite�s like sweet, not suit nor sweat,
Again not gain but more like get,
But �g� in get is guh like guess,
Not juh like gin, or yet, genius.

C, h, says �chuh� except in ache
Or stomach, yacht, let�s get this straight --
In Christmas c, h does say kuh
The �t� says naught, the �a� says �uh�,

Now wont�s like want but not like won�t,
Ponder, wonder, wander, oh!
Don�t get confused when �a� says �awe�
Or �o� says �uh�, it�s not too odd,

For �o� says �uh� in mother, front,
But not in font -- it�s getting rough.
Don�t get confused with apple stroudel.
What do you make of the word �colonel�?

The letter �c�, it sounds like �suh�
In science, scions, Caesar, and such,
But then says �kuh� in cute and canned
That�s �k� and �s� like �know�, �island�.

*Note* This is a work in progress
