∴ to an english speaker these words appear
like riddles wrapped in a cheer
·
what is “hwylus” do you suppose
you wont find answers looking at those toes
·
does this mean a llama on skates
or a penguin juggling plates
·
“greannmhar” might suggest a leprechaun’s wig
or a sneaky potato doing a jig
·
could “furan” be a highland cow’s shout
or a sheep playing bagpipes, no doubt
·
but to truly grasp their merry essence
we’d need a language lesson, no pretense
for in these words, laughter’s the key
no matter the tongue may joy set us free ∴
