О трудностях английского языка

[dil]

We'll begin with a box and the plural is boxes
But the plural of ox should be oxen not oxes
then one fowl is goose but two are called geese
yet the plural of mouse should never be meese
You may find a lone mouse in a whole lot of mice
But 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?
The cow in a plural may be cows or kine,
but the plural of vow is vows and not vine.
And I speak of a foot and you show me your feet,
But I give you a boot would a pair be called beet?
The masculine pronouns are he, his and him
but imagine the feminine she shis and shim!
So our English I think you'll all agree
Is the trickiest language you ever did see.
