Listen to the world’s best poetry read out loud.

There’s ire in fire, a ban in turban, 

A rind in tamarind, a listen in glisten, 

A reed in greedy, umber in lumber, 

And the other way round. 

There’s a vine in divine, a pot in potato, 

Oggle in goggle, rang in boomerang, 

A miss in mission, an ate in plate, 

And the other way round. 

There’s a tick in tickle, a rift in drift, 

A trap in trapeze, a feat in defeat, 

A bed in bedraggled, timbre in timbrel, 

And the other way round. 

There’s riot in patriot, Zen in citizen, 

A give in forgive, a wig in wigwam, 

An amp in lamp, a ‘Sh!’ in shooter, 

And the other way round. 

There’s a pie in magpie, a fad in fade, 

A cab in caboose, the ark in lark, 

There’s old in gold, an Om in doom,  

And the other way round. 

There’s jin in jinricksha, a cry in descry, 

A sire in desire, a rob in Robin Hood, 

There’s other in mother, size in capsize, 

And the other way round. 

There’s laughter in slaughter, a hind in Hindoo, 

A hare in harem, a hound in Mahound, 

A pig in pigeon, an ear in hear, 

And the other way round. 

There’s rust in trust, a vark in aard-vark, 

Goo in goo-goo, nulla-nulla in nullah, 

A come in income tax, a gent in Gentoo, 

And the other way round. 

There’s tawny in mulligatawny, a ling in lingerie, 

An end in endoscopy, an Abba in Abbot, 

A squirr in squirrel, a devi in devil, 

And the other way round.
