PARADOXICALLY ENGLISH

 

English is a very peculiar language that I will grant

E.g., there’s no ham in hamburger or egg in the eggplant

Many foreign visitors never quite manage to grapple

With the fact that there is no pine or apple in a pineapple

English muffins were not invented in England in fact

And French fries were not invented in France to be exact

But if foreigners can’t understand us, I don’t give a fig

If a guinea pig is not from Guinea and it’s not even a pig

So, what if quicksand takes you down slowly, who cares?

And does it matter if the Boxing rings are really squares
