For years, I spoke French 
(with sincere and passionate dialect)
You, were Pig Latin.
(with only simple intent)

So, I tried Italian,.. and Farsi 
and mastered the curl of my tongue.
Yet years later,
I grew completely numb.

Then, 
I met a boy, 
who worded like me.
His adjectives swirled, 
and spun me around.

Got me all tongue tied
but eventually,
  I drowned.

All his pretty words, 
his accent with flare 
got a girl not to see,
his *buyer beware*

His words so fancy,
I thought, maybe Greek?
When really he spoke more ,
..'tongue in cheek'

So now,
I'm studying Croatian 

oh no, 
not for a boy...

..for world domination.
