DIPTHONG 161015

"Meet the notorious Professor Diphthong, Watson" said Holmes "responsible for all the illegal vowel movements in London...!"


My knowledge of the diphthong
Is hardly encyclopaedic
But it wouldn't take me long
And might make my wordplay less anaemic

"" (from Kelvin Clone) - the fragrance that can promise you everything from A to E

From a cat's miaow
Came vowel crunching lessons -
Whither the diphthong?

I saw this fool
Heading to the pool
He wore a diphthong
So tiny it was wrong -
Nicked for smuggling budgie
Ended up in A&E

Diphthong -
°A complex vowel sound that begins with the sound of one vowel and ends with the sound of another vowel, in the same syllable.
°Joined vowels, pronounced as one, such as a and e in æ, or o and e in œ
