words that rhyme

Today we did an exercise on words that rhyme. We started with :

song

long

kong

thong

dong

wrong

strong

pong

wong

Thong and Wong happen to be the surname of two of the girls. As we went down the list; we started to remove words that are not English. Lo and behold....I learnt quite a few new words today. The only non-English word is wong.


Here is the meaning of some of the words :

pong - an unpleasant smell; stink

dong - a deep sound like that of a large bell

kong - strong whiskey; illicit whiskey.


Then we decided to make silly sentences that rhyme:

Once there was a wanderer,

who works as a fruiterer,

He was actually a murderer,

who killed the emperor.


Bong sang a long song

While drinking kong

And released a strong pong

that sounded like dong

which was wrong!!!


What fun we had laughing at the silly rhymes we made.
