'I say LEE-ver , you say LEVV-er'
By Roger Waring

Hi Everyone,  Here's a little ditty to (hopefully) brighten your day.

  I say LEE-ver , you say LEVV-er
  I say Po-TA-to, (yet also To-MAR-to!)
  LEE-ver, LEVV-er, Po-TA-to, To-MAR-to
  Who started this game off?

  My sense of humour is your SENSAYUMA
  I have to labour, while you simply labor
  Humour, humor, labour, labor
  Let's call the whole thing off!

  But Oh! If we call the whole thing off
  We will surely have to part
  And Oh! if we ever have to part
  It will surely break my heart

  So let's not except it, why not just accept it?
  We both share a language that's somewhat eclectic
  Meters, (or Metres) or prose without Meter,
  Let's call the calling off AWF
  Let's call the whole thing OFF!

(with apologies to Bing and Grace?)

Yours from Merrie England

Roger Waring
