If you can pronounce correctly every word in this poem, you would be speaking English better than 90% of the native English speakers in the world.

After trying the verses, a Frenchman said he'd prefer six months of hard labor to reading six lines aloud.

The Chaos
by G. Nolst Trenite' a.k.a. "Charivarius" 1870 - 1946

Dearest creature in creation,
Studying English pronunciation. 
I will teach you in my verse,
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse and worse. 

I will keep you, Susy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy. 
Tear in eye your dress you'll tear,
So shall I! Oh, hear my prayer.
