Aitches

I dropped my aitches

Where did they go?

I ‘ave searched ‘igh for them

I ‘ave searched low


They were ‘ere yesterday

They were ‘ere last week

Yet now they can’t be ‘eard

When I ‘appen to speak


So heat becomes ‘eat

Hackney, ‘ackney

Hamster, ‘amster

Hungry, ‘ungry

Hiccups becomes ‘iccups

Hairy, ‘airy

These words are NOT in my dictionary!


I told my English teacher

Of this un’appy news

She said “You ‘ave no need to worry

But… you must mind my Ps and Qs!”
