I think you already know

Of tough and bough and cough and dough.

Others may stumble, but not you

On hiccough, thorough, tough and through.

Well done! And now you wish, perhaps.

To learn of less familiar traps?

Beware of heard, a dreadful word

That looks like beard and sounds like bird.

And dead; it's said like bed, not bead -

For goodness' sake don't call it deed!

Watch out for meat and great and threat -

They rhyme with suite and straight and debt.

A moth is not a moth in mother

Nor both in bother or in brother.

And here is not a match for there.

Nor dear and fear for bear and pear.

A dreadful Language? Man alive,

I'd mastered it when I was five!

At eight o'clock in the morning

For our breakfast we'll see

Cornflakes and buttered toast

- and let's have a cup of tea!

At four o'clock in the afternoon,

There'll be food for you and me!

Cream cakes and sandwiches

- and let's have a cup of tea!

At seven o'clock in the evening

A lovely supper we'll see:

Chips, peas and fish-fingers

- and let's have a cup of tea!

At ten o'clock at night

We'll have a piece of bread,

and I'll make a cup of tea,

And then we'll go to bed.

Spring is green

Summer is bright

Autumn is yellow

Winter is white

***

The summer is over

The trees are all bare

There is mist in the garden

And frost in the air

***

When it is May,

When it is May

We play and sing,

We are all gay,

We greet the spring.
