The Pronunciation Poem

Here is some pronunciation.
Ration never rhymes with nation,
Say prefer, but preferable,
Comfortable and vegetable.
B must not be heard in doubt,
Debt and dumb both leave it out.
In the words psychology,
Psychic, and psychiatry,
You must never sound the p.
Psychiatrist you call the man
Who cures the complex, if he can.
In architect, chi is k.
In arch it is the other way.

the guide lines given by the song.

My Puppy Punched Me in the eye
My puppy punched me in the eye
My rabbit whacked my ear
My ferret give me a frightful cry
And round-house kicked my rear

My lizard flipped me upside down
My kitten kicked my head
My hamster slammed me to the ground
And left me nearly dead

So my advice?
Avoid regrets!
No matter what you do dont ever let your family pets
Take lesson in kung fu
