Our Funny Language

Hola! I'm taking Spanish- so I'm speaking Spanish right now. Hola! Lol. Okay. I'm done. Well; this poem is one we got at school. I loved it. Funny; and pretty true. So... like it?? I just love it. Well- I'll try and write some soon. I can't decide what to write. I"m either going to work on a new story or an old one. The only problem with the old ones are that on Dragon Master- none of it makes sense. On That Lost Rider one I just got stuck. So... Well, here's that poem I just love. :-D

Our Funny Language

We’ll begin with box, the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox should be oxen not oxes,
On fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
Yet the plural of mouse is never meese,
You may find a lone mouse, or a whole nest of mice,
But the plural of house is houses, not hice,
If the plural of man is always men,
Why shouldn’t the plural of pan be called pen?
The cow in plural may be called cows or kine,
But a bow, if repeated is never called bine;
And the plural of vow is vows not vine.
If I speak of a foot and you show two 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 shouldn’t the plural of both be called beeth?
If the singular’s this, and the plural is these,
Should the plural of kiss ever be keese?
We speak of a brother, and also a brethren,
But though we say mother, we never say mothren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
But imagine the female she, shis and shim!
So the English, I think you all agree,
Is the funniest language you ever did see.
