    About this ebook

    This wonderful grammatically correct nonsense poem is designed to display homonyms, homophones and homographs in an amusing manner, that makes understanding these concepts easy. Rhyming verses make the reader smile, while challenging them to recognise these idiosyncrasies of the English language. This book is both educational and entertaining.
