Theatrical Muse 283 What languages do you speak?

I sing as easily as I talk,
And dance as easily as I walk.
In theory my Gigs can be sung
In every place and every tongue.
(In practice, I might just admit
That ain’t the easiest part of it.)

Words are my talent, you’ll agree
I have a wide vocabulary?
But accents, dialects and such,
And jargon – humans add too much!
A language should be growing, live
But you add slang and all that jive!

Communications syncopated,
Shouldn’t be too complicated
Some songs are sophisticated,
Some tunes turn out addle-pated,
One Queen was emancipated
Gig was as anticipated
Hell, she wasn’t educated
but that can be over-rated,
Accents are comunicated,
And my talent's just as stated.

I guess the real answer is that I can listen in most languages and even write in some, but the way I speak them is going to depend on who I’ve been hanging around with. It the Queen’s got an accent I can pick it up quite fast – and lose it, eventually, when things change.
