    They say that Anglo Saxon English was very similar to Dutch.

    Tense times with verbs,
    by richard lederer

    The verbs in English are a fright.
    How can we learn to read and write?
    Today we speak, but first we spoke;
    Some faucets leak, but never loke.
    Today we write, but first we wrote;
    We bite our tongues, but never bote.
    Each day I teach, for years I taught,
    And preachers preach, but never praught.
    This tale I tell; this tale I told;
    I smell the flowers, but never smold.
    If knights still slay, as once they slew,
    Then do we play, as once we plew?
    If I still do as once I did,
    Then do cows moo, as they once mid?
    I love to win, and games I've won;
    I seldom sin, and never son.
    I hate to lose, and games I lost;
    I didn't choose, and never chost.

    I love to sing, and songs I sang;
    I fling a ball, but never flang.
    I strike that ball, that ball I struck;
    This poem I like, but never luck.
    I take a break, a break I took;
    I bake a cake, but never book.
    I eat that cake, that cake I ate;
    I beat an egg, but never bate.
    I often swim, as I once swam;
    I skim some milk, but never skam.
    I fly a kite that I once flew;
    I tie a knot, but never tew.
    I see the truth, the truth I saw;
    I flee from falsehood, never flaw.
    I stand for truth, as I once stood;
    I land a fish, but never lood.
    About these verbs I sit and think.
    These verbs don't fit. They seem to wink
    At me, who sat for years and thought
    Of verbs that never fat or wrought.
