Portuguese Language

My language
of latin language powder,
fights between Hispanic
and Anglicism...
but lives curdled
of the many languages...
It harbors Arab subtleties
and Africans presents
and is studded with neologisms
of the inventors of words and concepts...
My Portuguese is a patchwork quilt
fruit of a base and several sources...
Fight for its universality
in the immense Babel
that is our world.. !

The Toetry Pest

I asked my mom for help finding a poem
Like Miss M said.
(A poem containing neologisms, or spoonerisms, or a pun).
But try as we might, it just couldn’t be done.
We Googled.
We Read.
There was no poem that was fun.
So me and mum wrote this poem instead. 
My bum is the mest!
She passed this toetry pest.
