Talking Turkey

Modern language in a poem

Talking Turkey

gobble gobble gobble

it may sound like gibberish to you

or sometimes called gobbledygook

nonsensical in thought it's true

the genesis of language

was born here though at least it seems

the northern mesopotamian birthplace

the birthplace of our dreams

the beginnings of modern man

the farmer now the gatherer no longer

communication skills needed more

the thoughts so much stronger

this bipedal erect standing creature

descendant of humanoids now gone

move north out of Baghdad

and learned to sing a song

the music still playing in our ears

lingers on from these Turkish rants

poetry in another form

words of the future cants

Gomer LePoet....
