    David is running low on wit
    To offer up this moldy bit.
    Goose - geese,
    Moose - meese,
    A child could answer that query,
    Even so, I do admit, that English can be scary.

    Do you know why people throw so many fits? Because they never come in the correct size.

  5. Ok, I know this isn't very good, but

    If a man gooses a woman more than one time does that make him a geeser?

  11. We have a strange tongue
    So much of its wrong!
    If gooses are geese
    But mooses aren't meese,
    Mouses are mice
    Houses not hice!
    What do we do with more than one rat?
    More than one puss cat or more than one bat?
    It just don't make sense to put on an ess!
    The English word endings, are any one's guess!

  13. I know nothing about animals
    And I'm not Doctor Suess
    But the one thing I know
    Is you should not goose a moose.

  14. Of course.

    What cartoon character was it that used to say, "I hate meeses to pieces."? I forget.

  15. Hmmm... and since baby geese are "goslings", should there also be "moslings"?

  16. If you "choose" more than once,
    Is it 'cheese'?

    As Austin Power's 'fazha' said, "easy peasy lemon squeezy"

    I think that's my final answer to your query!
