Isn’t language just luscious?
I could just lick it as it languishes on my tongue.
Wonderful, wacky words,
Waiting to waft out wonderfully and be heard.
And letters! Think of the letter M
Melting in your mouth
Mmmmmmm marvellous.
How about sounds that sizzle and slither,
That get you in a dither.
Language.
Don’t ya just love it?
