 Kween's inglish pleeze!

 

 

I tire of tyre being misunderstood,
and booey for buoy? Well that's simply no good,
it's buoy as in buoyant or boy from the 'hood
don't say as you see it but say as you should.

Check all your cheques before somebody sees,
and bedder is better with a couple of t's,
green is the colour, not color of peas
and yellow not yeller, the colour of cheese.

Alloominum soon will be up for the change,
'cos the 'i' in aluminium seems out of the range,
of colloquial accents that try rearrange,
an otherwise sound form of verbal exchange.

Labor's not working with it's absentee,
the 'u' is not silent nor put there for free,
it's put there to accent the roundness you see,
of a recognised word on which we can agree.

It's route as in root and not rowt as in clout,
you're intelligent people so figure it out,
say holler by all means, but no need to shout,
and speak the Queen's English, then there's never a doubt.
