English- A crazy Language!
Does the head of a flower have any hair?
Does the eye of a needle ever stand and stare?
If the plural of mouse, is mice,
Then shouldn’t the plural of house be hice?
To see more than one goose, you would see geese.
So shouldn’t the plural of moose be meese?
Can you cross the bridge of a nose?
And does the foot of a bed have any toes?
A tooth is one and a whole set are teeth.
So why isn’t the plural of booth, beeth?
And if teachers “taught”…
Then shouldn’t preachers “praught”?!?!
Since writers write, and singers sing,
Then shouldn’t hammers ham, and fingers fing?
And since a father can also be known as “Pop”,Imagine if a mother was also known as “Mop”!!
A man is one, and a whole crowd are men,
Then why don’t we call more than one pan, pen?
If people from Poland are called Polish,
Then why aren’t people from Holland , Hollish?
And if we say ring, rang and rung…
Then shouldn’t we say bring, brang and brung?
Since the male pronouns are he, his and him…
Then shouldn’t the female be she, shis and shim?
English is a very weird language, I mean come on!
It’s a language where alarms go off by going on!!
Isn’t it funny that boxing rings are in fact square?
I challenge you to master the English language- if you dare!!
