And while we're on spelling and rhymes...
I’d like to know exactly how
can B-O-U-G-H be BOW?
For if it is we should allow
that C-O-U-G-H is COW!
And while we’re on this silly stuff…
if R-O-U-G-H is RUFF
then surely it is fair enough
that C-O-U-G-H is CUFF!
And then again I’d like to know
why D-O-U-G-H is DOE,
for then it seems it should be so
that T-O-U-G-H is TOE!
I really don’t know what to do
with all this crazy spelling stew…
although I’ve tried to think it through.
Are yough sure yough knough what tough dough?
