Saying Hello
by Jeffrey ParrenFor some tables
even saying
hello
is trying
maybe it's just me
but if you go
to a
foreign country
wouldn't you learn
at least some phrases
or sayings
to make it easier?
For everyone?
I can only
speak in two languages
so if yours isn't one
of those two
then we have to meet
at some kind
of middle ground
for sanity's sake
to maybe ensure
you get what you want
from us,
"the stupid Americans." 11/07/2008 Author's Note: I have learned the French really don't like us.
