To understand the word OPAQUE,
Dip water from a well-stirred laque.
And if you’d maybe study TROUGH
Just watch the water running ough.
Or if you’d wrestle say with WRATH–
That’s what a wrighteous husband hath.
We must include the word PNEUMATIC-
Pnon-solid, airy, miasmatic.
Another one I like’s OBLIQUE:
(Giving truth the hide-and-seeque).
And now our lessons finished, through.
I’ve learned an awful lot; have yough?
