A Funny Side of English Language

[BloumagrieT]

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 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 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 would be those,

Yet hat in the plural wouldn't 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.

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.

I take it you already know

Of tough and bough and cough and dough?

Others may stumble, but not you

On hiccough, thorough, lough and through?

Well done! And now you wish, perhaps,

To learn of less familiar traps?



Beware of heard, a dreadful word

That looks like beard and sounds like bird,

And dead: it's said like bed, not bead-

For goodness sake don't call it "deed"!

Watch out for meat and great and threat

(They rhyme with suite and straight and debt).



A moth is not a moth in mother

Nor both in bother, broth in brother,

And here is not a match for there

Nor dear and fear for bear and pear,

And then there's dose and rose and lose-

Just look them up – and goose and choose,



And cork and work and card and ward,

And font and front and word and sword,

And do and go and thwart and cart –

Come, come, I've hardly made a start!

A dreadful language? Man alive,

I'd mastered it when I was five.
