Inspired by a real-life debate across the Atlantic...
“You write rumor, I write rumour,
You write humor, I write humour,
Rumor, rumour, humor, humour –
Let’s call the novel off!”
“You write realise, I write realize,
You write organise, I write organize,
Realise, realize, organise, organize –
Let’s call the novel off!”
“But oh! if we call the novel off
It’ll be a shame
And oh, if the novel fails we’re both to blame!
“In your defence, in my defense,
You take offence, I take offense,
But we know we need each other so we
Better call the calling off off,
Let's call the whole thing off.”
(Roller-skate dancing follows...)
