Funny pluralities.



The plural of peace is clearly not peaces
The plural of pea is certainly peas

The word that defines more than one pee
Is something that is a mystery to Me

One might be ready to see what one misses
When more than one pee is now called whizzes

Yes English logic is full of holes
Have you ever heard a labor of moles

Sometimes it actually dazzles our ears
When we hear about A sloth of Bears

Here is one common that everyone knows
That silly thing called a murder of crows

I never heard of an Army of frogs
I thought that war was suited for dogs

Instead I inexplicably found
The plural of dog is a cry of hounds

Of course there is the alternate fruit
When more than one dog is called a Mute



For my good friend.

Ty for all.

English is strange indeed. Thanks, Radix.
