Poe Et Tree

It seems one poet's pet beef
Is causing our readers some grief
Although ink may bleed
He may not succeed
Unless "deaf" can be rhymed with "leaf"

Thanks to the hodgepodge of influences which make up the English language, the rules of grammar and pronunciation are all screwy - but it also makes it one of the most versatile too!
