Being Thrown Into Immersion School

Slip all batty zing ump ash Flip ball catty bing bump bash Clip doll fatty ding dump dash Sip caul hatty bring chump crash I stare at the speaker, wishing I knew what to do or say Hip haul natty ping grump hash Quip mall ratty ping grump rash Strip paul slatty string stump slash I hear the words but they make no sense For I do not know the language or understand My parents threw me into full immersion school Where I do not speak the language in any form... I do not understand, and I doubt I ever will.
