The Latin words sopor quies
Sound just like Hebrew spor keves !
So to help you sleep deep,
We now tell you "count sheep !"
That pun's for a polyglot, yes?

Limerick
In the bar where I drink,
I declare myself, I confess:
I go from poor to rich
in an instant,
From rich to poor
in the other...
And when I drink,
I'm French, English,
Spanish and Italian ...
Easily to become polyglot
Drinking..!

Por Que Pig and Bugs Bonet
nisht parlez vous francais
Aber Mikhail Maus und seine spouse
drinkt 'L'chaim!' in ihrem haus
Eso es todo, amigos...

No Polyglot Here
By: Tom Wright
9-7-2019-
I’m no shade of polyglot,
It’s only English for me.
Italian, French, or German;
Now which would it be?
Learning another language,
Wouldn’t be germane.
From an “Okie,” any one,
Might be met with disdain.
Would my native tongue,
Then languish on a shelf.
While in my new language,
I just talked to myself?

Lyric
Unaccustomed to the lingo
yet accustomed to the bling so
let it roll and rock and rot
regardless of the highbrow wot...
or china crystalled silver settings
designed Lenox gauche, just sayin' nothing
compared to what us fair groomed got
thank Daddy for the polyglot.
Of myth and spit and hum-drudgery
of how things never used to be
is time to wake up. Hope we do
'cause I'd like to live on, would you?

IMMIGRATION.
Are migrants proud Australians?
Our nation based on immigration,
One polyglot meld of humanity,
To Australia, show fidelity.
Our nation of peaceful tolerance,
People from Earth's shifting sands,
Living here in Great Southern Land,
Deployment should not be our dance,
Nothing wrong with loyalty,
Patriotism our children's legacy,
--Great Southern Land,
All welcome to be Australians!

None word
surely achieves
the sense of pain and mirth...
Dressed in truth,
attempt to reach the sun,
but with wax wings
can't even exit the atmosphere...
It carries a message, yes
but no one translates it faithfully
with precision...
Neither the heart
who has been polyglot since Babel,
can't find language that can
express what not itself,
the word is able...
