I had to pause more than that! I love those "poems"! 
Sir, What are you trying to do to me? I'm the French mother of two infinitely polite Englishmen who would never correct anyone's language. When they were boys, at 7 and 8, they tried to teach their mother to say THE instead of DE. I had to put my tongue inside my upper teeth. It's crazy! We gave up after 6 months and we lived at peace ever since. I learned a lot of English words. When I can't pronounce them, I spell them. If I can't spell them, I act them up. People always seem to understand what I try to say.
But today, you send me to THE CHAOS (which I printed) and you suggest DAT I read it aloud? For fun??? Not in front of my sons, please...
The older son came in for half an hour and I challenged him.
He was good but he paused two or three times. No! I didn't try...I might give up English forever if I do! Actually this is turning out to be fun. Thanks! I'll put some friends to the test.
