If you can correctly pronounce every word in this poem, you will be speaking English better than 90% of the native English speakers in the world. After trying the verses, a Frenchman said he’d prefer six months of hard labour to reading six lines aloud. Try them yourself.
I am convinced that Jacquelynn reblogged this entirely because the author of the poem—quite incorrectly—rhymed “very” with “bury”. Mind you, they also rhymed “aunt” with “grant”, and many of the lines scan terribly.
Still, an interesting exercise.
An aunt is a relative. An ant is an insect.
