english language
taken from a newspaper from dhaka, bangladesh:Let's face it
English is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
And, there is neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.
We sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
Quicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
If a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat?
Why do people recite at a play?
Yet play at a recitak?
Park on driveways and
Drive on parkways
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can burn up as
It burns down
And in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes!
When the stars are out they are visible
But when the lights are out they are invisible
And why it is that when I wind up my watch
It starts
But when I wind up this observation,
It ends.
clement.
