When the English tongue we speak, why is sew not rhymed few?

will you tell me why it's true?

Cow is cow and low is low. And shoe is never rhymed with foe.

Think of hose and nose, and of lose; And goose and  yet choose.

Think of comb and tomb and bomb; Doll and roll and home and some.

Since pay rhymes with say; why not paid with said, i pray? 

We have blood and food and good; but mould is not pronounced like could.

We say done and gone but not lone; is there any reason known?

Thus, in short, it seems to me

English sounds and letters disagree.

 

 have a nice day guys!!!
