Friends For Dinner

Friends For Dinner

We're having friends for dinner on Saturday
Well we're not actually having them for dinner!
That statement implies that we're cannibalistic
And our list of friends would get thinner!

We drive on a parkway and park on a driveway
This play on words sure can confuse
If teachers taught, why don't preachers praught?
One moose, two meese, how do we choose?

Make amends always seems to be plural
Can't we make one amend I'd like to know!
One tooth, two teeth, why not one booth two beeth?
And why shouldn't you pick your seat at a show?

A slim chance and a fat chance mean the same
But a wise man and a wise guy are opposites
The weather is either hot as hell or cold as hell
I know it's confusing but don't take a fit!

This English language can be oh so confusing
It can drive you to distraction at times
But try to learn Chinese or Mandarin my friend
You'll realize the English language is divine!

I have to admit that this composition dedicated to the dinner left me speechless, but deep breath while trying to bring me inspiration. The English language as any other language lends itself to confusion and it shows in a translation, a simple error in performers can result from a false Idyll to a bloody war.

Jack Says:

“Esta lengua inglesa puede ser oh tan confusa, puede conducir a la distracción a veces, pero al tratar de aprender chino o Mandarín mi querido amigo, se dará cuenta de que la lengua inglesa es divina!”

And I fully agree with Jack, I love all the languages, a perfect language I think the Spanish, but the English language despite the effort seems ideal and divine.

We are the species that meets at a table for dinner and to quench his hunger destroying innocence and the life of an animal.
