Alas! The modern world is such<\/p>\n
that I don\u2019t fit in very much.<\/p>\n
Technology\u2019s left me far behind;<\/p>\n
I\u2019m about to lose my mind!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
French I speak,<\/p>\n
Italian, too.<\/p>\n
And the tongue they speak in Kathmandu.<\/p>\n
(That\u2019s Nepal, y\u2019all. Nepalese, if you please).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I converse in fluent Dutch,<\/p>\n
although I admit, not very much.<\/p>\n
And I have a smart Pomeranian<\/p>\n
that barks in perfect Romanian.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But there\u2019s a tongue I just can\u2019t learn;<\/p>\n
it makes no sense to me, by durn.<\/p>\n
I even speak obscure Balochi,<\/p>\n
but I cannot understand Emoji.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Who thunk that up, anyway?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
