Spelling with C and K

So here is the rule ...you spell the /c/ sound with a c if it is followed by a,o,u, and any consonants

You use a k if it is followed by e,i, or y

This works most of the time but there are ALWAYS exceptions to the rule. (Ex. Kangaroo) 

So we sing (to the tune of Wgere is Thumpkin)

The k has 3 friends, the K has 3 friends: e,I, and y.     e, i, and y. 

The k has 3 friends, the K has 3 friends: e,I, and y.     e, i, and y.
