The English Language

 Let's face it
 English is a stupid language.
 There is no egg in the eggplant
 No ham in the hamburger
 And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
 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.
 If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
 If the plural of tooth is teeth
 Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
 If the teacher taught,
 Why didn't the preacher praught.
 If a vegetarian eats vegetables
 What on earth does a humanitarian eat!?
 Why do people recite at a play
 Yet play at a recital?
 Park on driveways and
 Drive on parkways
 How can the weather be as hot as hell on 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 in a form
 By filling it out
 And a bell is only heard once it goes!
 English was 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 When the stars are out they are visible
 But when the lights are out they are invisible
 And why it is that when I wind up my watch
 It starts
 But when I wind up this poem
 It ends.
