Ah, would I were a German!
I'd trouble my translator
With nouns the size of Hamburg
And leave the verb till later.

And if I were a Welshman
My work would thwart translation
With ninety novel plurals
In strict alliteration.

And would I were Chinese!
I'd throw them off their course
With twelve unusual symbols
All homophones of "horse".

But as it is, I'm English:
And I'm the one in hell
By writing in a language
Impossible to spell.

Mmm, hot Kalami tea with lemon juice and honey.

I squeezed the juice from a lemon I just picked in my back yard. My lemon tree has numerous sweet fragrent flowers which will bud into next season's lemons, with bees busy pollinating them. As they bees may well be from the hives of a bee-keeper in my neighborhood whose honey I buy, I think this is very nifty.

Also, if anyone has a handle on this "spelling" stuff, whyfor is it "pollen" but "pollination"? Wondering simply, -- Frogbee
