Silent D

Rating: 5.0


What if the d in dr- words
was silent?

The word for the morbid fear of crossing roads
would sound romophobia.

Rosometer would be the sound
of the instrument for measuring dew.

We'd say rink, rug and roll
for drink, drug and droll;

and rama-queen, rivel,
raught, rop and rew.
