Analysis of Sounds Like The Meaning
Sizzle, drizzle,
hiss and roar
Grumble, rumble,
buzz and snore
These are words that "sound" and score

Giggle, wiggle,
flip and flop
These are words that "sound" and stop
Sputter, splutter,
growl and groan
Sprinkle, wrinkle,
wheeze and moan
These are words that "sound" and hone
