Speaking of Speaking

    Women who speak Spanish
       seem to me clannish 
    While men who speak Russian
       remind me of Prussians

    Girls who don’t bathe often speak French
       emitting a certain pungent stench 
    driving French boys to learn German
       hoping to find a more buxom wench… 

    But cats who speak dog
       and dogs who speak cat
          ~ Where the hell are they at

They know their place GW. I’m glad you refrained from having a dig at we British… that would make me skittish. A fun write….now, what goes with garlic?

Not bathing saves the environment. I laughed at these images. It is fun.
