Mission: Impossible III poem
(See blog post for further information.)
The pleasure of Shawn's company
Is what I most enjoy.
He put a tack on Ms. Yancey's chair
When she called him a horrible boy.
At the end of the month he was flinging two kittens
Across the width of the room.
I count on his schemes to show me a way now
Of getting away from my gloom.

Listing of phonemes, allophones, and words in which the allophones appear.
Only one word is listed per allophone, which may not be the only word in which it appears.
Omitted: long vowels, unreleased stops. Given phone X that is an allophone of both phonemes Y and Z,
the same word W may be listed for X under both Y and Z, even though X appearing in W will be perceived
as only one of Y and Z. For example, the phone [c] appears in schemes and is listed under both
/k/ and /g/, even though the [c] in schemes will be perceived as a /k/, not as a /g/.
