The girls who all wore simple colours,
Mini-skirts, mini-cols, mini-cuffs,
Claiming those audacious rumours
Were just lies spread by sad, single toughs.
Ariadne resented the inference
That she'd interacted last night.
“These marks aren't bad Bingo’s big imprints,
They’re the site of a big bed bug’s bite!”
"My unit's infested with termites!
Elimination's called for, but how?
They've got pincers! Don't turn off the BUG lites!
See that monster! The size of a cow!"
"I'm your man!" came a voice from the backdoor
"I am the law! Of leftovers? None!"
I’ll fix these big BUGs you’ve got trapped, or
By your thread I will chain up each one!
So the candidates, Ariadne and Mark
A locked pair? who knows? Just wait and see.
Tried and erred on the floor in the dark.
He claimed innie. "No, outie!", cried she.
"I'd call that a conflict of interest,"
She blushed, with advanced colouring,
And fished out her patterned print dress.
"A remote pair we'll stay. Just a fling!"
Their eyes were locked, set in their sockets,
Like the 3D Medusa of legend.
Then a hidden sub set off some rockets
Guess our number's up - Is it the end?
"Equivalence!" Mark states, "that's the answer.
We'll write to the PM at once.
This cluster of gems should entrance her."
"She's a he. You're in error! You dunce!"
"What, bivalue? I’d never have guessed

once = response
won = bun/sun
about = sprout/flout
one = don/con
sushi = cheeseburger
As I've been teaching English in Japan for the past 12 years and before that Turkey, I can assure you that you would find my English a lot easier to understand than any US accent.

If a dead tall Chinese guy called Chon Chun played for the Suns (I think they're a basketball team but I could be wrong coz my knowledge of basketball is only equalled by my knowledge of Ikea) (BTW where is the list of reasons for Ikea hatred?) how would you pronounce the following;
Sun's Chon Chun once won one
Sun's Chon Chun once won one

Does one detect a public school accent
Sun's Chon Chun once won one
Rhyming as:
Sun's = buns
Chon = wrong
Chun = Chun(nel) [colloquial name for the Channel Tunnel].
once = wunce
won = bun
one = bun

Public school?!! You're kidding! I'm a comprehensive boy through and through. I smoke tabs, drink ale and like footy (not rugby), me. I'm an anti-royalist, lefty, liberal, tree-hugging, inverted snob. Also a Poly-graduate atheist

When the English tongue we speak,
Why is break not rhymed with weak?
Won't you tell me why it's true
We say sew, but also few?
And the maker of a verse
Cannot rhyme his horse with worse?
Beard is not the same as heard,
Cord is different from word,
Cow is cow, but low is low,
Shoe is never rhymed with foe.
Think of hose and dose and lose,
And think of goose and yet of choose,
Think of comb and tomb and bomb,
Doll and roll and home and some.
And since pay is rhymed with say,
Why not paid with said I pray?
Think of blood and food and good;
Mould is not pronounced like could.
Why is it done, but gone and lone -
Is there any reason known?
To sum it up, it seems to me
That sounds and letters don't agree
Once and ponce, they rhyme you see,
But one and won, I disagree.
