Hebrew is, it would appear,
The language when a man makes beer.
Nor should you ever need to ask
If sunbathing is done in Basque.
Harbour sailing in the breeze
Is surely best in Portuguese.
Payment squabbles pretty much
Can be avoided going Dutch
Except for those who place a bet
And, having lost, Welsh on the debt.
Gaelic’s not, as it might seem,
When homosexuals eat ice cream.
Russian is for those in haste
Slovene where there’s time to waste.
With poultry it is fair to say
One eggs them on best in Malay.
Some citrus juice may coat your chin
When you are deep in Mandarin.
Chess in Prague is tempting fate –
You just hear Czech and then it’s mate;
While those who have a telescope
Speak fluent Farsi one would hope.
“Get knotted!” (you’ll have heard the cry)
Can only mean you should use Thai.
I sense your interest now diminish
Perhaps it’s time for me to Finnish.
