It's such fun, will be great to share with middle school students!
Greg, Loved this.
Now I'll be utterly bold and share a poem I wrote about spelling, too:
TROUBLEMAKERS
It would be nice
To spell “precise”
With i-c-e
Predictably.
Instead, although it seems absurd,
To spell “precise”, a perfect word,
With i-s-e, which looks like “wise”,
“Precise” won’t rhyme with “compromise”.
Take my advice,
When words aren’t nice:
Notice, practice, more than twice-
That’s the way to spell “precise”
Precisely!
Keep 'em coming!
Thanks, y'all, for the comments and to Sandy for the precision in poetry!
