This Week’s Riddle.
An Ode Of English Plural.
This is a true story. White horse jumped over a tower and landed on a priest, Who immediately disappeared from the landscape.
We’ll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes, But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes. One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese, Yet the plural of moose should never be meese. You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice, Yet the plural of house is houses not hice. If the plural of man is always called men,
Where did this take place?
For all your financial needs, call 403.485.2268 today!!
Why shouldn’t the plural of pan be called pen? If I speak of my foot and show you my feet, And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet? If one tooth and a whole set are teeth, Why shouldn’t the plural of booth be called beeth? Then one may be that, and there would be those, Yet hat in the plural would never be hose, And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.

FOOD BANK WISH LIST
Doesn’t it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one but one of them, what do you call it? If teachers are taught, why didn’t preachers praught? Sometimes I think all the folks who grew up speaking English should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.
Items Such As: The Answer: A Chess Board
*Kraft Dinner *Hamburger Helper *Canned Beans/Peas *Canned Tomatoes *Juice/Juice Boxes *Vegetable Soup *Pasta Sauce *Canned Fruit *Pudding Due to Health regulations, the Food Bank cannot accept homemade foods.
In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? We ship by truck, but send cargo by ship…. We have noses that run and feet that smell. We park in a driveway and drive in a parkway. And how can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and which an alarm goes off by going on. And in closing, if Father is Pop, how come Mother’s no Mop? -With thanks to Duane and Janice Mix for this contribution.
