One mouse, two mice One house, two hice? Knits or nits give me advice Is it one house and two hice? No that's knot write, house is houses Does that make one mouse two mouses? More than one you add an "ess" Except for sheep, this is a mess English learning is a guess Fills me up with language stress If sheep is sheep when more than one What about ducks, is it dux and run Ok, ok! I've got it pat Not sure which one, but that is that In the know, or pat the cat Who's this English aiming at? I've got it rite I'll take a bough Or is it bow that I do now? No it's bow of that I'm sure On a present it's something more Bow, or beau, oh rats! Manure! This English language has no cure Beau or Bow, bough or bow It's hard to tell which I use now This learning English gives me pains I don't even want to think of rains of reigns or reins, mainly in Spains with desert, dessert, flooding planes of English language take a break perhaps I'll stay illegitimate Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant - Thoreau |

Kethry!!! Good to see you!!!!!! Oh, I liked this one, lots of great phrasing and expression, love all of yours, you know I think you spend as much time at this as I do!!!!!! What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life. Walt Whitman |

Don't worry, I grew up here and I still get confused and trying to explain it to my own children is even worse. Love you wit and your fun way of showing us the true meanings and non-meanings of our altered state of ever changing confusion. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |
