Lunacy of a Language

There is no egg in eggplant
No ham in hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in pineapple
English muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France
Quicksand takes youdown slowly
Boxing rings are square
A guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat!
And why it is that when I windup my watch It starts...
But when I wind up this poem, it ends.
