UUh, I love to play with the language. That was reallyreally fun, I just read it out loud and it went better than I dared to hope.

To those, who asked themselves why we over here in Europe speak other than our own language so often.. That ist -I suppose- because we are sitting so close together speaking different languages. So if we want to communicate we just have to learn. First choice is -of course- english, then french or spanish and a lot people learn russian too over here.
In some cases it is easier to learn than in others i.e. german and dutch are quite related. So when a dutch is speaking slowly and clear, I am able to understand what he/she wants to tell me. Surely not word by word but you can get the essence. That works the other way around too, I suppose..
The english and the german language share roots too, so for a german it is not too hard to learn englisch (I suppose the other way around is not so easy, because we have much much more rules and even more exceptions to them )
French is based on latin so it is much harder to learn.

It is a thing of necessity. You Americans and Australians can roam your whole continent and are able to communicate everywhere. Over here we can't - sooo, we just have to learn. I don't know wheter we deserve awe for that or not .. It is just a normal thing..

Thanks for sharing this nice poem. I had a lot of fun with it.
