I am trying to track down a poem I once read about English spelling (and the absurdity thereof). It is based mainly on rhymes between words that don't look at all similar when written.

I can't remember any more details, but if somebody can point me to it I will be grateful.

Many thanks; I think the first two or three are what I remember, though I had the idea they were all from the same poem.

I am grateful to you for your original question. It spurred me to track down something I had been intending to for some time. I hadn't realised that there were so many on offer; like you, I had only met the first two or three before.
