We`ll begin with box.The plural is boxes
but the plural of ox should be oxen not oxes.
One fowl is a goose , but two are called geese ,
Yet the plural of mouse is never meese.
You may find a lone mouse , or a whole nest of mice
But the plural of house is houses , not hice
If the plural of man is always men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
The cow in the plural may be called cows or kine,
But a bow, if repeated is never called bine;
And the plural of vow is vows, not vine.
If I speak of a foot and you would show me two feet,
And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set is teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of kiss ever be written keese?
We speak of a brother,and also breathren,
But though we say mother, we never say mothren.
Then the maasculine pronouns are he ,his and him ,
But imagine the feminine she, shis and shim !
So the English , I think you all will agree ,
Is the funniest language you ever did see.

- I liked it. And it is funny to say, but if you were to use "mothern" it would be use only if she was smothern you. I really enjoyed this poem
