All of us knows that french pronunciation is not easy, that we swallow the half of the word while speaking but this....
If you can pronounce correctly every word in this poem, you will be speaking English better than 90% of the native English speakers in the world.
After trying the verses, a Frenchman said he'd prefer six months of hard labor to reading six lines aloud.

| Horrifying! |
Study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.
Just compare heart, beard, and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word,
Sword and sward, retain and Britain.
(Mind the latter, how it’s written.)
If you have a craving, read on the rest]
....this is hard work! Try this and spell, read it aloud, this is so difficult!
We says that English is easy but when we get into the pronunciation it doesn't seem so.
Every language has its traps ;)
Have a nice reading! :)
