A Kilting Poem

[Smayniac]

When I picked Scooby up from his mom's for the week this week I was presented with the following poem:

The Games

At highland games I like weight over bar,
with luck, the steel will go far.
It's tradition, my kilt I wear,
I'm not vain, but I know people stare.

He has kindly given permission for it's publication here. This was actually a spelling exercise, the theme this week was homophones; there are four spelling words in this poem, but none of their partners.

Homo phone - hmm - I guess that is words which sound the same but are spelled differently - that would be - luck not look, vain not vein and stare not stair - and and - err weight not wait?

or is it know not no?

(In some states bar not bear. )

Hang on - wear not where

not not knot

So which are the four spelling words?

Well, he's from California, so it's probably not luck/look. The accent has 2 pronunciations here. I'm guessing its: weight(wait), steel(steal), wear(where), vain(vein).

At highland games I like weight over bar,
with luck, the steel will go far.
It's tradition, my kilt I wear,
I'm not vain, but I know people stare.


Gosh I hope I'm right...given all the lab reports I grade, I might sound like a fool right now.
