A RE-WRITE OF A NURSERY RHYME




Pronunciation is vexation,
Grammar is as bad,
The FCE perplexes me
And essays drive me mad!

to vex = to annoy
to perplex = to confuse

I have substituted the original words relating to Maths with words about English language learning(underlined and in purple). Can you make similar changes to make your own rhyme? It doesn't have to be about English, you can make it about any school subject!
How to make it work for you? The first line word must have -ation as a suffix. the second and fourth line words must have two syllables and the third line word must end in the sound (i:) like tree or three.
I'd like to see your rhymes.
