Why this Pic? ... 'Cause it's a Box-Car!

WHAT'S YOUR "POINT?"

7 come 11
© - Tom Hyland
7 or 11 are Winners
On the First Roll of Dice
When Shooting “Craps.”
We did - Crap -
Then - More Crap -
Now Working on ‘Crapola’
And Now - Craps!
Why - Seven? Why Eleven?
Let us Investigate Some Pronunciations -
Eva - Eve - Even - Evening -
Steve - Steven - Stevedore -
Seven -
Eleven -
Why are the Last Two Words -
Pronounced Differently?
The First Seven Sound a Long e -
But - 7 and 11 -
Are Short e’s -
As in - eh -
WHY?
Who Said So?
Why Not SEEVEN -
And ELEEVEN?
Just More English Exceptions?
Or - Just More Crap?
Is English Just a ‘Crap-Shoot?’

| Good point. I understand that English is a very difficult language to learn because of the exceptions. And now even our domestic offspring can't even complete a sentence. Maybe Game boy replaced Sesame Street and the kids now have terrific thumb action in place of eloquent tongue action. "wha!!! I dunno!!! if evaan!!! tsawl good!! and all with the adjective f___ing . A tad scarey. J'nia |
