I had a strange inspiration earlier, and this is the result. Keep the concept of ghoti in your mind for this one.

"Ghoti Coc"
Bigh = Phaiuhnorpsuh

Hough oz thoc Ongloti?
Thu cpelong onewesiiouxull;
Wedne dod wuay ogri tieu thoc?
Teighc uh ceipt, lebt'c dockuc.
Anned neaux, igh deaun't waunt uh ghoti.

"Fish Sauce"
By = Fayanora

How is this English?
The spelling unusual;
When did we agree to this?
Take a seat, let's discuss.
And no, I don't want a fish.
