The Teach - part 4

[Alan]

Here's an unusual one from The Teach - English again.

How quickly can you find out what is unusual about this paragraph? It looks so ordinary that you would think that nothing was wrong with it at all, and in fact, nothing is. But it is unusual. Why? If you study it and think about it you may find out, but I am not going to assist you in any way. You must do it without coaching. No doubt if you work at it for long, it will dawn on you. I don't know. Now, go to work and try your luck.

And for the clever ones amongst you - what is this type of paragraph known as?

A paragraph of words?

[Alan]

Hmmm - correct but not what I'm looking for Rob.

I have a piece of paper in front of me - it says 'summer of 1988' .. 'english *' grade D(d), oral communications grade 3(three) :NoNo:

I think the cleverest thing I ever did was :Erm: an oxymoron :BouncyHappy:

[flyingsparks]

I have no idea what this type of paragraph is called, but As far as I can tell there is no letter 'e' anywhere in the paragraph.
Or is it something else you are looking for?

[Alan]

You got the first bit mate - well done - no 'e's at all. There is a name for this kind of paragraph.

I believe someone once managed to write a complete book without the use of the letter 'e'

I believe someone once managed to write a complete book without the use of the letter 'e'

An owl and a pussy cat put to sail
In a fabulous grass colour ship
Packing much cash and good food to stash
With a wrapping of pounds for that trip

Soon Owl did look up in a starry air
And sang to a small guitar
"Oh darling Pussy, oh Pussy so fair
Of all cats you do stand out by far"

Pussy said to this owl, "You charming old fowl
What sonorous songs you sing
You and I now should marry, it's wrong so to tarry
But what can stand in for a ring?

Both did sail away for many a day
To a land with bong plants all about
And found in a wood a piggy who stood
With a ring just adorning his snout

"Oh pig, art thou willing, to part for a shilling
with your ring?" Said this piggy "I will"
So it was bought right away for nuptials that day
Brought about by a fowl on a hill

That night both did sup various fruits to lap up
Consuming with much runcibility
And hand in hand on a moonlit sand
Got dancing to utmost ability
