They are out there,
Those clever people
Who can speak other languages,
As well as their mother tongue.
When people talk about them
I tell them
I am bilingual.
They look at me in awe
And ask which languages I speak,
So obviously I tell them
English is the one I have known,
Known all my life,
But in that long life
I have learned to speak another,
One that comes so easily to me,
As it comes to me quite naturally.
Apart from English
I am totally fluent,
In speaking Rubbish!
