Etymology, dictionaries, grammars
pertaining to plural formation:
one cowboy, too many cowboys,
one cowgirl, not enough cowgirls
one lone horseman riding into sunset,
four horsemen summoning apocalypse
one ox calmly yielding to two oxen
while sheep stubbornly remain sheep
mice not mouses, lice not louses,
but one goose begets more geese
and in place of meese or mooses
roam the remnants of the moose
just one last prickly conundrum:
is it cactus, cacti, or cactusses?
