We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes.
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 nest full 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 my foot and show you my 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 booth be called beeth?

Then one may be that, and three would be those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
And the plural of cat is cats, 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!

Hilarious!

They do say that the English language is the hardest language to learn.

I don't know about that. My guess would be, any language you are trying to learn, would be difficult, until you learn it, that is.

When I hear Chinese language, it sounds so gibberish.

When I hear Spanish language, it sounds so fast, like everyone is talking ten thousand miles an hour.

Writing a language, seems even more difficult. I understand letters but all those little lines and marks
and writing left to right, seems impossible to learn......errr right to left......hmmm

Why does the world have to be so mysterious!

I expected some long drawn out speech of the English language, not this. I am actually smiling because it is so cute and funny. I like it.
