Poema dificil da Lngua Inglesa

I take it you already know

Of tough and bough and cough and dough?
Others may stumble, but not you,
On hiccough, thorough, slough, and through.
Beware of heard, a dreadful word,
That looks like beard but sounds like bird.
And dead: Its said like bed, not bead -
For goodness sake, dont call it deed!
Watch out for meat and great and threat
They rhyme with suite and straight and debt.
A moth is not the moth in mother,
Nor both in bother, nor broth in brother.
And here is not a match for there,
Nor dear and fear for bear and pear.
And then theres dose and rose and lose -
Just look them up - and goose and choose.
And cork and work and card and ward,
And font and front and word and sword.
And do and go, then thwart and cart,
Come on, Ive hardly made a start!
