Here's an excerpt of the poem:

Scholar, vicar, and cigar,
Solar, mica, war and far;
One, anemone, Balmoral,
Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel;
Gertrude, German, wind and mind,
Scene, Melpomene, mankind.
Billet does not rhyme with ballet,
Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.
Blood and flood are not like food,
Nor is mould like should and would.

And I just realized... I have been spelling "pronunciation" incorrectly all my life. I spelled it as "pronounciation" with that extra 'o'. Interesting.
