Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Fluent

It’s nice to be fluent
In more than one tongue,
So you can converse
When you are among

People from places
You’d like to go
And ask them whatever
You need to know.

But what I’d prefer
(This might make you laugh)
Is the version of fluent
That starts with af-.

Robert Pettit October 28, 2013 at 11:59 PM On www.mlb.com, I had a conversation with a Cardinals fan somewhere in Missouri. She also mistook my question with the word "affluent" for "fluent". I had to explain to her the difference between the two words. Good write as usual, Ilene.

Jon A Cavanaugh October 28, 2013 at 11:53 PM This poem did make me laugh. Wonderful wit and rhyme. And I'd rather be affluent as well.
