we have a frisky octopus
then baby octopi
a reproductive stimulus
done twice, a stimuli
.
add in a hippopotamus
then hippopotami
in time, you'd need an abacus
or maybe abaci
.
a lonely goose that finds a friend
can whip up flocks of geese
but if a moose has little calves
we'd never call them meese
.
you wouldn't see a pair of trains
and watch for their cabeese
or have some outlaws set to hang
and go collecting neese
.
i know a guy who was a louse
his hair was full of lice
he was so very wealthy
that he owned a pair of hice
.
he had a wife, whose closets bulged
with dresses, hats and blice
but left him when she found
that she was not his only spice
