Why English is Hard to Learn

Why English is Hard to Learn

We'll begin with box; the plural is boxes,

But the plural of ox is never oxes.

One fowl is a goose, and two are called geese,

Yet the plural of moose is never called meese.

You may find a lone mouse or a house full of mice,

But the plural of house is houses, not hice.

The plural of man is men,

But the plural of pan is never pen.

If I speak of a foot, and you show me two feet,

And if I give you a book, would a pair be a beek?

If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,

Why shouldn't two booths be called a beeth?

If the singular's this and the plural is these,

Should the plural of kiss be ever called keese?

We speak of brother and also of breathen,

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!
