Just a weird thought?

So just a weird thought, if multiple "goose" are called "geese" why aren't multiple "moose" called "meese"?

What's your thought?

    Going out attempting to locate a rabbit with a bow and arrow... yet in basic terms as you shoot you detect it relatively is relatively the Energizer Bunny balloon in a parade... then you relatively start up up getting chased by way of a billy cop driving a tiny tricycle... then falling by way of a manhole which you probably did no longer see reason you have been watching the tricycle cop at the back of you... Whew! What a nightmare!
