The jury budged the jokey judge.
Jolly Julie made us fudge.
Jest and joke; jump to your ledge.
Juicy dew drenches the hedge.

Jumping genies jive unhinged.
Duly produce this poem you’ve binged.

Heal and peel; meet and greet;
clean your teeth; preen your feet.
Ship or sheep; sell or seal;
Don’t get ill – just heat the meal.
Green, pink, yellow; cheese is neat.
Dream of easy words to beat.
‘This’ and ‘these’ aren’t hard to please.
Feel your doubts kneel on weak knees.

This loyal noise now joins your voice.
