Think About This..
I'm sick and tired of using this language. It is so stupid. Jus think about it guys...
English is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant;
No ham in hamburger.
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
And while no one knows what is in a hot dog,
you can be pretty sure it isnt canine.
English muffins were not invented in England;
French fries were not invented in France.
We sometimes take english for granted.
But if we examine its paradoxes, we find that
Quicksand takes you down slowly.
Boxing rings are square.
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
Sweetmeats are candies, while sweetbreads,
Which aren't sweet, are meat.
If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
If the plural of tooth is teeth,
One goose, two geese.
So one moose, two meese?
Is cheese the plural of choose?
One mouse, two mice; one louse, two lice,
One house, two hice?
Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth.
If the teacher taught, why didn't the preacher praught,
Or the grocer groce, or hammers ham?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables,
What the heck does humanitarian eat?
Why do people recite at a play,
Yet play at a recital.
Park on driveways and drive on parkways?
Ship by truck and send cargo by ship?
Have feet that smell and noses that run?
How can the weather be as hell one day,
And as cold as hell on another.
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can burn up as
It burns down.
and in which you fill a form by filling it out.
And a bell is only heard once it goes!
How can a slim chance and fat chance be the same.
while a wise man and wise guy are opposites?
English is invented by people, not computers.
And it reflects the creativity of the human race.
(Which of course isn't a race at all)
That is why you get in and out of a car
and on and off a bus.
When the stars are out they are visible
But when the lights are out they are invisible.
And whi it is that when i wind up my watch it starts
But when i wind up this poem,
It Ends
So, isnt english a stupid language?
