The Complexities of the English Language tongue, say, 

"The ragged rascal runs over the rugged rock" 

The English Language is a polyglot of French,
The Chinese just can't pronounce the 'r' 
German, Italian and what not, 
"Fried rice" becomes 'flied lice' 
But as far as we are concerned, English can go

The subtleties of the English Language: 
For instance, they always say 'yeslah', 'nolah' 
Awful pronunciation, 
Tricky grammar, 
Certain words have double, triple, quadruple,
Unfathomable ambiguities, 
multiple meanings, 
Misleading spellings! 
But STOP, 
Although we lament its irregularities and
Choose your words carefully when describing

your hostess: 
English can also be clear, concise and simple! 
You can call her a kitten, 
We give up, 
But not a cat. 
The English Language is madly paradoxical,
Call her a mouse,

But not a rat. 
But sometimes, while frantically trying to
Call her a chicken,

Or, you will never be her caller again.

Altogether, the nonsensical, musical, comical
What would happen if we say ALKALINE and

HEROINE? 

Likewise, CH can be "tsh" as in ARCHBISHOP 

But "k" as in ARCHANGEL and ARCHAEOLOGY 
It would be chaotic if we say, chaotic! 

Ah, English! What a language! 

Confusing, perplexing, exasperating 
It spins the head, tires the tongue, boggles the
mind, juggles the brain!
