Regurgitating in Ětre.



Regurgitating in Ětre.



The trouble with languages,
Are the improbably large,
Disparities in what is meant,
And what is said.

I tried French and Gaelic,
But couldn’t quite install.
All the memory chips,
I had needed to compute.

Conjugation of verbs is naff,
When I’m thinking of Michelle.
And J’t’adore is my wave length,
Upon rhythmical currents flowing.

I tried to sing like Asnavour,
Hoping that would accent more.
And the memories of Paris,
Came flooding without a clue.

Down in the Rhonda valleys,
Boyo!
My connection with nature,
Has no affect at all,
When I hoped for more,
Than the occasional Yakidar!

And even the sheep here,
Couldn’t help to elocute me.
Putting dim stopio in my progress,
And boeri brought a caustic blow.

But all in all,
When said and done.
I have learned a trick,
To help me run.
Just smile throughout,
And nod your head.
They’ll believe you knew,
Just what they’ve said.
