The second language

Oh ,my dear ,world wide, second language,                                                      You're ruling the whole world obviously ,                                                 
Almost ninety countries have you as their mother tongue.                              And nearly sixty countries are using you as an official language.                                The twenty six letters are dominating the world's scenario ,                            Your global influences make you as a dominant language,                       The non-native learners feel hard to learn you,                                           Your tricky grammar rules challenge them to grasp.                                   The funny language is just like a wild horse,                                                     If you go before it ,it will certainly bite you ,                                             Likewise it will boot you ,if you go behind it ,                                                  And it has many exceptions to the rules.                                                           If a noun comes alone it will be a singular,                                                    And if a noun adds with suffixes s or es,                                                           It will be a plural in your rules of grammar,                                                               Some nouns are the same in both singular and plural.                                We omit the article that comes before a noun normally ,             
Sometimes an article is added before a noun specifically ,                                   Words have same spellings but different pronunciation,                           And you simply require a lot of memorization.                                     Anyhow you're breaking down language barriers,                                       And you're promoting the world's multi lingualism,                                         You're a bridge in between different cultures of the globe,                          No wonder you're the world's most common lingua franca.
