"Have you ever wondered why we say mice and not mouses??

It’s because Old English had a class of nouns with different vowels in the plural. If we kept the original plurals, books would be beech, cows would be ky, goats would be geat, nuts would be nite, and oaks would be each." -wylfcen

"The Battle of Brackonwet features Robin Hood as well as jousting bears, battling bumblebees and partying pigs."

"Christmas Walk

Here a pond-surface peaceful,
mirror though moved by the mallards,
the murk-sky repeats.

Leafless aloof-tilted,
an ash-tree up-angles in ire-taut
lour at my act.

All is wattle of withy
in the fencing that fends me off from fair-pool,
with a full worn face."
