THE SCENE:  An undisclosed location. Enter LORD VOLDEMORT

VOLDEMORT
You're gonna get cursed 
You will be trounced 
If "Lord Voldemort"
Gets mispronounced
You better humor me
With "Silent T" 

I can rhyme with "war"
Not with "good sport"
I can rhyme with "gore"
Not with "Hogwarts"
So if you're filking me
Use "Silent T"

If I'm hard-core
My schemes you dare not abort!
You can deplore
If I don't come up short

Talk like the French
Not like the Brits
Or my teeth I'll clench
I'll lose my wits
My Dark Lord name Must-Not-Be-Named, now you see
`Cause they all declaimed the "T"

There's a man in Azkaban I'll never free
Because he planned to say my name with "T" 

To mispronounce Herm
Isn't so rare
Mistake magic terms
I'll never care
But if you want to suit me to a "T"
Say the "L" and C'est le vie!
And add the "R" and "D"
But don't say the "T"
