A bit of French?

orchidee

Now I never was very good at languages

Here's what sounds like a bit of French

French to me anyway!

 

Nope, not a repeat of that F, F, F, and F poem

When I have to add

'Pardon my French!'

 

But a tale of when I forgot

To add water to my whisky, gin, whatever...

That made it difficult for me to saysh

Any tongue twistersh that have a lot of 's' words

 

After a ginsh or threesh - or tensh!

I couldn't shay properly:'

'Sheesh shells shee shellsh on the shee-shoresh'

Or stuff like that

Oh, and neither could I saysh:

'The sixth sheikh'sh sixth sheepsh is sicksh'

 

Have to ask me to translate

If you're not fluent in French!

LOL. (Hic!)

'Put the gin down' says Fido!

    Love tongue twisters especially when intoxicated particularly if the person is a stutterer. Good one Orchi

    • orchidee

      Yeshh, thank you SB. lol.

      • sorenbarrett

        Most welcome Orchi

      • Doggerel Dave

        Your relevations with reference to your identity as an old soak are deeply troubling, orchi. I conducted our correspondence under the assumption that I was dealing with an identity of impeccable rectitude (with the absolute of support from that hound of yours, of course).

        • orchidee

          Thank you D. I'm on the gin. lol.

          • Doggerel Dave

            Good Oh - a splash of dry vermouth can really ginger the whole guzzle up...

            • orchidee

              Thanksh yoush D.
              'OK, OK,' says Fido to me: 'Don't overdo the acting', though I say to Fido: 'Good acting by me here, innit?'! lol.

              • Doggerel Dave

                  The only French I studied was Brigitte Bardot.
                  And I don't drink anything stronger than Pop.
                  But then my Pop drinks like a Fish. 🍷🥂🤕

                  • orchidee

                    Thank you K. lol.

                      Orchi, another triumph from the Orchiverse Academy of Advanced Linguistics! Fido has confiscated the bottle, the French embassy has denied all involvement, and WCAT still cannot answer what the hell was said...but somewhere deep below, a Frenchman screamed, “Magnifique!”...and then came a glug! 🤣📻🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

                      • orchidee

                        Thank you T. What is 'glug' in French? lol.
