WHICH IS WHICH and WHAT IS WHAT.
When I think about some words we use,
I'm sure our language must confuse,
Those brought up in another land.
Our spelling's hard to understand.
When it comes to spelling there's a hitch,
It's knowing just WHICH WITCH IS WICH.
The first one meaning what you chose,
The next a hag with pointed shoes.
Although it may sound quite absurd,
The IpsWICH ending is the third.
This problem crops up quite a lot.
For instance knowing WHAT WATT IS WOT.
The first means much the same as which,
Then power you use, when you close a switch.
The next means know, or to be aware.
Nowadays it's use is rare.
But you older readers may recall,
Mr Chad upon a wall,
And the inscription "WOT NO BEER",
Next to the words "KILROY WAS HERE".
