ELECTROCUTION

Bonjour Messieurs et Dames


YES my poem has begun


Today I will be taking you,


Through a COURSE of electrocution




We will begin with air not Heir


For tis about sound, not spelling


Next will be an hour in the ‘ouse of ‘orror,


For all the Honorables fallen in battle




Ask your questions please, never AXE


For the cup of this decades bloodshed is full


Lest we shed more Tears from our eyes,


Not the type o’ Tears to be mend with a stitch




Don’t be bothered by the preyure, No


It’s still only English, no pro’lem


Better yet ask Fareed Zakaria,


Indian Accent, CNN, No need for GPS




26 Letters, 44 Sounds


Why wont my people say Shursh not Church


Who on earth would’a should’a could’a known,


That Fresident of the Federal ReFuvlic sounds with a ‘P’.




But Ten minutes I can guarantee


On BBC or be it SKY


Will cure SCHWA or any maledictions,


No more need for phóné-tic sounds




Fricatives are sure to cause Friction


Just as elocution is sure to be electric


But meaning the ability to transmit


Makes it all the real Electrocution
