The Funny English Language
No wonder the English language
is so very difficult to learn. I sometimes wonder how
we manage to communicate at all!
We'll begin with a box
and the plural is boxes.But the plural of ox
should be oxen, not oxes.
The one fowl is a goose
but two are called geese,Yet the plural of moose
should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse
or a whole set of mice,
Yet the plural of house
is houses not hice.
If the plural of man
is always called men,Why shouldn't the plural of pan
be called also called pen?
If I speak of a foot
and you show me your feet,And I give you a boot,
would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and
a whole set are teeth,Why should not the plural
of booth be called beeth?
Then one may be that
and three will be those,Yet hat in the plural
wouldn't it be hose?
And the plural of cat is
cats and not cose.
We speak of a brother
and also of brethren,But though we say Mother,
we never say Methren,
Then the masculine pronouns
are he, his and him,But imagine the feminine
she, shis and shim,
So English,
I fancy you will all agree,Is the funniest language
you ever did see. .
