scone (sounds like moan) or scone(gone)

[wakeover]

Anybody know the poem which differentiates these two pronunciations please?

No but I have groan type jokes......

What's the fastest cake in the world?

Scone. ( only works if you like gone) AND

What's the second fastest cake in the world?

Meringue..( you got to say it like a motorbike whizzing past!)

Sorry :o)

[Naomicorlett]

only works if you say it to rhyme with gone!! I hate proof reading after I send something and then finding a mistake.

How about
I asked the maid in gentle tone
To bring to me a buttered scone
The silly girl has only gone
And brought instead a buttered scone

Thanks to all, I think Shaney has solved my question
Once again thanks.

'Skon', like 'gone', in Scotland, except for the town of Scone, (outside Perth), which is pronounced 'skoon' .
'Skown', like 'moan' is mainly used in England, though not everywhere.
