Well I just started my new sketchbook with “Pussy Sit’s by the Fire” and I am feeling nicely smug. This is definitely my best one yet, and considering I said that yesterday this is a good sign for the rest of the challenge.

In honesty’s sake I have to admit I cheated, the first two numbers I drew were more rhymes about months and weather and frankly I was tired and didn’t want to start the new sketch book with puzzling over abstract concepts and make a mess.

This interested me in a linguistic sense wondering about how pronunciation changed over the centuries from a time “now” and “do” rhymed.
