I found this sometime ago but I couldn't remember the sources...
Enjoy reciting! :)
We begin with a fox,
whose plural is foxes
but the plural of ox is oxen,
not oxes
you may see a love mouse,
or a whole nest of mice
but more than one house,
is houses, not hice
if i speak of a foot and
two are called feet
and you show me your boot
would a pair be called beet?
i may have a brother or
i may have brethren,
but though i've a mother,
no one has mothren.
so English, i fancy
you all will agree
is the funniest language
you ever did see.
So, what the poem tries to teach?
It's pluralssss....(extra 's' to show 'pluralness')
See next post for fun activities!
