The Trouble with English
Trouble, trouble everywhere
So much trouble, I don’t care.
Accent, grammar, nouns and verbs,
I don’t want to say one word.
Come on, come on, you can try.
Speak with me, and you’ll get by.
Think of all you want to say
About the life you live today.
Problems, problems everywhere
So many problems, I don’t care.
Explain, repeat, read and write
I can’t speak, day or night
Take it easy, my good friend
We can make it to the end.
With some help, you’ll start to see
You’ll get better naturally.
Listen to this poem.
