Behold, the well-educated Bard!

Wren and Martin doth their part.

They got rich, upon my word!

On the conceit of the dud!

Oh! It is easy to laugh

Poke fun at a gaffe!

But, in how many languages, pray

Can the Bard have his say?

The Guide to the left of thee

Can speak in at least three.

The shopkeeper on the right

Speaks four in his stride.

English, as we know

Is funny by right.

The language has no logic

The grammar causes fights.

Yet, we know, do we not?

It is the pride of the lot.

Pray, do you not feel lost,

In front of a polyglot?

Humble Beginnings do not boast.

Boasting leads to humbling. Don’t.

In my mind,

There is no pride,

In enforcing esoteric norms.

It only indicates to me

That you have nowhere else to be.
