English Language (Fun Poem) Poem by JoAnn McGrath

The English language is totally amazing.
Some words you can spell without even sounding.
Then there are words with double meanings.
That's why I have such trouble proofreading.

Here's a few example of what I mean.
Some words are not always what they seem.
A Paradox: is a statement made that may hold some contradiction.
Well, I look at the word and see a pair of physicians.
Or how about an eyedropper...you know what that is.
To me it's a clumsy ophthalmologist.

So now you know why I look at a word,
and just scratch my head because some are absurd.
The English language just boggles my mind.
But without it I wouldn't be able to rhyme
