English Language (humor)
Just thinking about the English language Some of the odd and strange word usage Like bookworm, but where's the worm? Little children still wiggle and squirm Sandwiches, no beach around with sand Meat between bread, I could understand Green onions, but are they really green? Doesn't make me hungry it would seem Ketchup, sounds to me like a game of catch Different ways to say tomato don't match Child-proof bottle, even an adult can't open Tests strength and grip, at least I'm hoping Grape jam and door jam, not close to the same Teeter-totter or seesaw, oh what goofy names Electric power drill and “ouch” dentist drill First for construction, other for a tooth to fill Jack-o-lantern or scarecrow, I'm not scared Game of truth or dare, will you take the dare? French fries, not even coming from France Porcupine, with pine needles, not a chance I could go on and on throughout the day With more crazy examples along the way Talk about food, my tummy now says eat Later it is off to bed early, boy I am beat! © Carol Salter 5/27/09
