Language learning

Learning a language is fun

One discovers a new reality

That one had no idea

Today I learned

I was an insect,

Oh shades of Kafka

Wherever you are

Nothing is new 

As you see,

Or maybe a penguin

The application couldn't make its mind

And the fact that shark ate penguins,

For a pick up line it might work

But to ask one's way it's hopeless,

I followed that by eating bear

And that definitely a duck was an animal

But it was not human,

Oh the shades of Ionesco 

Must have a giggle there,

While I can say I'm sorry

And good night

I can't ask How was your day?

Or tell you that I love you.
