Let's face it, English is a crazy language
There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger
There is no pine, nor is there Apple, in pineapple
English muffins are neither English nor muffins
Quicksand is, in fact, very slow
Boxing rings are square
guinea pigs are neither from guinea nor are they even related to pigs
And isn't it strange that...
Writers write yet
Fingers don't fing
Grocers don't groce
Tiers don't ti
And ladders don't lad
Isn't it a little strange that....
you can make amends but not a single amend
And if teachers taught, shouldn't preachers praught?
And if vegetarians eat vegetables, then shouldn't a humanitarian eat humans?
And where else do people recite at a play, yet play at a recital?
And where else do we ship by truck yet send cargo by ship?
Where else do people have noses that run and feet that smell?
Where else do people drive in a parkway and park in a driveway?
Where else are a wise man and a wise guy opposites but a slim chance and a fat chance the same thing?
And it is impossible to not marvel at the idiocy of a language where...
A house can burn up in flames while burning down
You fill out paperwork by filling it in
An alarm goes off by turning on
And, in conclusion, if a father is a pop, how come a mother is not a mop??
