Last week sometime I was going through my inbox making changes due to Gmail's helpful new design. There were plenty of starred messages I had once intended to revisit, but never had. It took a while for me to get things into manageable order, but in the process I found an email my brother sent me months ago. His email contained a link to a poem that I immediately fell in love with, having a rudimentary passion for languages, as I do, and the ways in which they are spoken.
To see the poem, click here.
I read the entire thing right way, out-loud, and am surprised I didn't draw the comments of my family. There were, in fact, several words I had never seen before, and my pronunciation has adjusted slightly as I have read the poem out-loud daily since I found it (except that I forgot to read it yesterday). Give it a try. I think it is fun.
Note the poem has not been properly attributed. If you'll do a google search you'll find more information. Pronunciations, of course, vary depending largely on where you live. You're better of seeing the poem as it is being read, or reading it out-loud yourself.
