Practice text using IPA alphabet

Today is libretto-practice day.

I have to get a start on my commission from the Song Company. It's a short a cappella piece using the International Phonetic Alphabet. 

Before I write the song text properly, I want to be comfortable with the IPA, since this is the first time I'm using it as an author.

The eventual song text will use disembodied phonemes etc. in such a way that there is no linguistic sense, ie. no meaning. 

But to begin familiarising myself, I wrote this practice text using largely English words plus a few sounds not found in English, like the [ǂ] which is a click used in Khoisan languages.

The English words are from Samuel Beckett. I figured it's fitting that I use absurdist text to practice writing nonsense… (Oliver, you'll recognise a couple of lines even if you don't read IPA…!)
