Arabic

I’ve started getting emails That I cannot read a word of. They’re written in a language That perhaps I’ve never heard of. The writing looks like Arabic, Not in my realm of knowledge. In high school I learned Spanish And a little French in college. I read some Hebrew haltingly, But this is not related. I wonder how to get This enigma investigated. For why is someone sending me A message in a tongue That’s alien to me and Other emails it’s among? I’m getting these from several names, All sounding vaguely Persian. To read one single word, I’d need Rosetta Stone immersion. I’m pretty sure this isn’t Spam, But I wish they’d recede. I’d rather open emails With a message I can read!
