Another poem contrasting English and American English.
I went to the shops
With my pal Paul
He got quite confused.
Cos When I say Mall
It rhymes with pal
He makes it rhyme with Paul.We went by quite a round about route
And that confused him too
Because he says route to rhyme with out
But I make it rhyme with root.He took the elevator
I stuck with the lift
We both went up together
The day we went to visit the Mall
Me and my pal Paul.
