It is all Chinese to me

A Poem about language

By Christopher BeardPublished 8 months ago 1 min read

It is all Chinese to me

We say it is all Greek to me

If only we knew Alpha from Beta

Then everything would be better

If you are no lesser

What we learn from this lesson

Is that it depends on the perspective

This is not a directive

But if you think you are a language detective

When you look at Chinese

You might not feel at ease

There might be something new up your sleeve

It is not something to grieve

Yet if you plead it still won't be easy to read

There will be lots of strokes

It is not a joke

Take a look at their writing

Isn't it exciting?

To some it will be more enticing

But for most of us it will be such a chore

For some it will be a strenuous bore

Just as well it is not law

Some might even let out a roar

But at it's core

Some will feel it is an eyesore

Others might throw everything on the floor

Others will be left in awe

But before you walk out the door

Remember that for most of us

It is all Chinese to me

For Fun
