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
