Why is English so Difficult to Understand....

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 called 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!!
