I Rowed My Hoarse

I rowed my hoarse Dobbin along the rode home
When I road him I found that I was getting saddle saw
I sore a children’s park a little way along the rowed
So I road there on my hoarse and rested
My hoarse soar some tasty grass to eat
I chatted to some children until I was horse
They stroked my hoarse and fed him mints
I road my hoarse and the children rowed him too
I sore how much fun they had when they road Dobbin
So I told them if I  soar them in the park when I rowed past
I would stop and they could have fun when they road my hoarse


Homophones used road, rowed, rode, sore*, saw, soar, horse and hoarse (based on UK pronunciation)

Lindsay Laurie Date: 3/17/2016 8:03:00 PM G'day Jan ... really enjoyed your take on the English language Jan. You've highlighted how difficult it must be to learn later in life - thank you and good luck - Lindsay Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 3/17/2016 8:06:00 PM The English language is complicated with so many variations of spelling and meaning and also the differences in pronunciation as highlighted by Andrea:-) hugs Jan xx

Andrea Dietrich Date: 3/17/2016 7:19:00 PM haha, it is so weird to me that you are using Sore (I believe that is how you pronounce the word saw?) I think on the east coast Americans pronounce it that way too. Way to go, coming up with another poem on those crazy homophones, my friend. Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 3/17/2016 7:25:00 PM Yes in the UK both versions of 'saw' and sore sound the same:-)I do love writing these homophone poems:-) hugs Jan xx
