This For That


If you don’t speak pig Latin,
that’s all muddy okay
Ignorant bliss slop chatting,
this be the swine way

Quid pro quo
is a pig tell only 
when you Latin show 
need to know  know

This Seller conversation bee busy e-Bay
That Buyer rhetoric reply is a sting yea

Quid pro quo, 
it’s the dirty methane manure vow burn
Do  do one vig favor for me,
and I’ll do  do one for you in sow return

Pig Latin patsy cough drop puffs,
this is nasty, mucky breath stuff
that be so stool pigeon hard to bellyache learn 

Get me this,
and I’ll give you that — 
Filthy lucre deals only be of wee buck concern

Quid pro quo
is an udder miry, scandal blow-buy oppo info-blow
There’s no  no need for anyone to poppy milk know
But[t] smart-alecky Snoop Dogg snouts
have got their pig Latin dictionaries out

This is an odious ixnay pigpen violation — 
Secret piggy bank account rap is being legally recorded
That can’t abide any oink consideration,
‘cause squeal messages aren’t Joe B. Taxpayer afforded

I just go into conniptions over some of your lines, FRJ. My favorite this time is: 'it's the dirty methane manure vow burn.' Cowabunga! ~ Oink, Orky-Pay Ig-pay

Hi Freddie, Once again, you have penned a deep and thought provoking write. You always give your reader something to think about. PS, As a kid thought I was talking pig Latin, by putting "shay" on every word I spoke lol! Have a great weekend my dear friend:-) Alexis

sadly too many politicians speak pig latin, your poems always have a message and are so great in your own unique style..
