Before “sh” we’ve quite a few
Short words that have an “uh”-like “u”
Half-melted snow we know as “mush”
Red from embarrassment a “blush”
A flow that’s rapid is a “gush”
A sudden silence is a “hush”
To squash to pieces is to “crush”
There is a songbird called a “thrush”.
Your hair you either comb or “brush”
Rich green vegetation’s “lush”
To go there quickly is to “rush”
Soft fabric on a toy is “plush”
Wash waste away? Well that’s to “flush”.
Occasionally you may have found
The “u” has got a longer sound.
A plant that’s wide we call a “bush”
With doors, you either pull or “push”
