Familiar Sounds
Jane had a stutter
She took her time to speak
Her little sister Lucy lisped
Which sounded rather sweet
Her father had a loud voice
He was master of the house
Her mother spoke softly
Like a timid little mouse
Her brother was dumb
And he couldn't say a word
Grandma was deaf
She mixed up everything she heard
The pussy cat purred
The Alsatian dog barked
The Canary in a cage
Sang like a lark
The kettle on the hob
Whistled merrily
Mum put her knitting down
And made a cup of tea
