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) Contest: Wordplay Extravaganza Sponsored by John Hamilton 03~17~16

You have this one down pat. Hope you win as it is most unique. Canadian east coasters also speak somewhat this way. Hugs Edith

I'm glad you understood it Mama bear I do find some differences in pronunciation and it makes it complicated especially for contests:-) hugs Jan xx

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

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

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.

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
