I came here thinking that I was the master of my tongue<o:p></o:p>

I'd learned my native sounds - all 26, when I was young<o:p></o:p>

But here I sit �?gob-smacked for sure - I now know just how crass<o:p></o:p>

My learning was - when as a pup - I was denied my THRASS<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

I've spent my life in teaching - dabbled daily with my verse<o:p></o:p>

And yet in work - and all I do - my spelling is a curse<o:p></o:p>

I'm not quite certain yet, how I, shall take my next word class<o:p></o:p>

But let me firmly say, that first, I'll sit them on their THRASS!

regards to all,

John<o:p></o:p>
