Carl Stilwell AKA CaLoki

Odd Couples


When two vowels go walking 

In due time you’ll ascertain most certainly

The first one does the talking


Though the latter is doing the stalking

It still doesn’t have one plea

When two vowels go walking


Listen carefully--don’t be deceived by the mocking

If vowel i behind e it must be

The first one does the talking


Hey! It’s as easy as a baby rocking

Silent is the a preceded by e

When two vowels go walking


Have good faith! Don’t mind the taunting

When a and i combine dialectal energy

The first one does the talking


What about relief, belief and cookie? Isn’t this shocking?

You fool! They’re exceptions to the rule, can’t you see?

When two vowels go walking 

The first one does the talking
