FONETIC SPELLING
[Welland Telegraph October 26, 1903]
Fonetic spelling I abhor,
And nawt can rowz mi bile
Or ruffle up mi temker mor
Than Izak Pitman’s style
The Yankee “theater” and such
Az follo in its trane
Anoi mi gentle sole so much
That I becom profane.
A traveler with but one “I”
Will make me simply fome
For fok hoo cannot lern to spel
Had better stop at hom.
Wun needs to be no pedagog
To shun this horrid voge;
Cood he hoo rites down “catalog”;
Be other than a roge?
London Tattler.
