Lend Me Your Ear

 Loving Vincent Paint GIF


The famous artist Vincent

As pronunciations flow

Van Gogh like ‘ich’ or Scottish loch

Is neither ‘ic’ nor low


How rude it is to mispronounce

Appearing dull or dumpy slow

Ending up with double dutch

Not Goff, not Gogg not Go


There will always be an argument

As sure as night and right have sway

Like rough and bough don’t sound as cough

One day Van Gogh might have his say
