a few lines that just occurred to me
just a dabbler
Poesia, poesie, or how about Gedichte?
Hope you like reading these, brothers and sisters.
Ciao, come stai ? In other words, Hi !
Bonjour, ça va ? Still reading ? Ta
Tag, wie geht's ? Taking the bait ?
Languages are really great. I use them all the time.
No problem if that's not your line.
I am not quite sure this site can handle accents foreign,
Not the kind you speak, but the kind you have to write on.
So just bear with me if you are grammatically upset,
Annoyed and irritated I hope you will not get,
Most of this text is in English anyway,
Just a peppering of foreign words to spice up your day.
