And the maker of the verse, Cannot rhyme his horse with worse? Beard is not the same as heard Cord is different from word. Cow is cow but low is low Shoe is never rhymed with foe. Think of hose, dose,and lose And think of goose and yet with choose Think of comb, tomb and bomb, Doll and roll or home and some. Since pay is rhymed with say Why not paid with said I pray? Think of blood, food and good. Wherefore done, but gone and lone - Is there any reason known? To sum up all, it seems to me Sound and letters don't agree.                                                                     by Lord Cromer meriam Joined on Thu, Sep 18 2008 Junior Member 53 Countries, United Kingdom, Great Britain, Languages

Like Holland, most of Norfolk should be covered by the sea, which may explain the strange behaviour around that part of England. They do have a wonderful accent though.
