Words With a Silent P Sound

Words that/which (you choose and let me know why!) begin with a silent "P": Psychiatry, psaltery and psalm give me an itch only your limerick can scratch. - B

Dear B, I'd say "that" because the h in "which" is silent and I don't want to send you into a tizzy. Here you go...

There's a P in some words you can't hear
This consonant will just disappear
Like in psalm and psyche
But not the word spiky
Whoever wrote these loved their beer
