So, does English make sense??

An email forward I received ... just couldn't stop putting it up here for those of you who care!

So, does English make sense??

We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes
but the plural of ox became 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 men
why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?

If I spoke of my foot and show you my feet
and I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?

If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth
why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?

Then one may be that, and three would be those
yet hat in the plural would never be hose
and the plural of cat is cats, not cose.

We speak of a brother and also of brethren
but though we say mother, we never say methren.

Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him
but imagine the feminine she, shis and shim.

There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger;
neither apple nor pine in pineapple.

Quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square
and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing?
Grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?

If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?
In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital?
Ship by truck and send cargo by ship?
Have noses that run and feet that smell?
A house can burn up as it burns down?
You fill in a form by filling it out?
An alarm goes off by going on?

There you go ...

When things don't seem right
The situation seems tight
Remember the greatness guide
That'll do away your plight

Think of what you want
Focus on your goal
Do what it takes
And there you go ..

Life is full of hurdles
Easy ones and tricky ones
Don't let them block your way
Take the left and right turns

Think of what you want
Focus on your goal
Do what it takes
And there you go ..

If there were no problems
There would be no experts
No one to look up to
And nothing to fight for either

Think of what you want
Focus on your goal
Do what it takes
And there you go ..

What kind of a writer am I?

All I can think about it love, heartbroken at that!
Or it has to be life, full of sorrow and wrath.
I ask myself', "Have I run out of thoughts?"
Or is it that I am not wearing my thinking hat.

Whatever the reason, whatever the season
I have to move away from treason
All that matters is matter of the song
Those words have to be right, not wrong

Let me hope this comes out well
Let me hope this one can sell
Serious thought I am putting into it
Love, treason, worries can't dwell ...

Life Moves On





Let the feeling go
Don't hold on, It hurts I know
Don't hold on, Everything'll be fine
You go on
Ups and downs dance
Life moves on!

Every tear in the eye
Has a tale to tell
You know how I felt for you dreams to sell
Don't worry, things will be fine
Ups and downs dance
Life moves on!

You remember the ice-cream
That melted in the heat
Quarrels and fights always thrown up in a feat
Cool down, slow down, cheer up
Ups and downs dance
Life moves on!

When you feel lonely
When you wanna cry
Don't hold yourself back, Let your thoughts fly
Be yourself, do what you want
Ups and downs dance
Life moves on!

दिल मुस्कुराता है

कलम जब भी लिखता है
अरमान तब खिलते है
आसूं बेहेक जाते है
और दिल .... मुस्कुराता है।

ख्याल तेरा आता है
मुहबत मेहेकती है
जस्बात सिसकते है
और दिल .... मुस्कुराता है।

धड़कन गीत गाती है
तेरा नाम लेती है
चेहरा तेरा आंखों में
और दिल .... मुस्कुराता है।

जुल्फ तू सवारती है
सोलह श्रृंगार करती है
आशाकी में डूबा हूँ
और दिल .... मुस्कुराता है।
