Ficly

Something worthy with the "th" [Without a "th" Challenge]

With brazened defiance I solemnly submit
This challenge’s premise ain’t worth a spit
You heartedly challenge us to a “th” ban
Simply because your sister’s a “th” fan
I refuse to help in your sibling annoyance
There are nobler causes worth my avoidance
First, how about banning the silent “e”
Or promoting the “k” in place of the “c”
The English language has so many quirks
Think about things before you knee-jerk
So let’s put the “th” to a logical test
And see what happens when suppressed:

No more death, but also no more earth
No more babies, ‘cause no childbirth
Then no more birthdays, and all the mirth
Then anything dear will have lost its worth
There’d be no more ficly, we’d lose all authors
No more great posts by THX 0477 …oh, bother!
