How not to pronounce awry
I could tell you a fun little story
But awry is not pronounced aw-ri
That unsettles my mind
Which is somewhat unkind.
And what’s more Lowry doesn’t rhyme with story either so I am stuck here on the page for ever

.Or not
I once had a dear friend called Mary
Whose home was ostentatiously awry
She slept in a box
Surrounded by clocks
And winter frost on her head looked all hoary.
Awry and quirky I be
And the cat will not sit on my knee.
He’s gone out on with the boys
Forsaken his toys.
Next he’ll be stuck up a tree.
I can’t climb a ladder today
I guess I’ll have to pay
A man with a van
To do what he can.
Life is all awry and fey

My bedroom is all awry
My bed is a tart apple pie.
But it’s cosy and warm
And does me no harm
Though sometimes in a dream I will fly

Is your marriage awry like mine?
Is your partner somewhat less than divine.
Well give thanks to the Lord
For indeed it is hard
To live with a god all the time.

The bedroom was indescribably neat
Nothing was awry but a sheet
It lay on the floor
inside of the door
Just where I put my black feet.

My awry home is disliked by the doc
Yet he wears an unmatched pair o’ socks
Over full with tact
I never tell him that fact.
I just make certain our eyes never lock

How my heart sings
