I take it you already know
Of tough and bough and cough and dough?
Others may stumble but not you
On hiccough, thorough, lough and through.
Well done! And now you wish, perhaps,
To learn of less familiar traps?
Beware of heard, a dreadful word,
That looks like beard and sounds like bird.
And dead: it's said like bed, not bead-
For goodness sake don't call it 'deed'!
Watch out for meat and great and treat
(They rhyme with suite and straight and debt).
T.S.W.quoted in Mackay (1970)
