Daily Dose: Rosetta

By T.S. Poetry 10 Comments

The Rosetta Bath

Okay, so some people learn a foreign language better in the bath. Or after it.

What can we say? 🙂

    For those who spell, that word should have been “Hear”, or, better, “Earhay”.

    Gold star to the first one to identify this verse:

    “Astway illigbray, andway ethay ithyslay ovestay
    “Idday yregay andway imblegay inway ethay abeway:
    “Allway imsymay ereway ethay orogovesbay,
    “Andway ethay omemay athsray outgrabeway.”

    Triple gold stars to anyone who identifies this writer’ title:

    “Umorsray ofway Aterway”

    Utbay, Ancynay, ancay ouyay itewray oetrypay in igpay atlinlay?

    When I studied in Russian in college (short-lived, long story), every time the professor would call on me I knew I couldn’t answer in English. Since I was not yet even mildly functional in Russian, my brain instinctively went to Spanish. It was embarrassing, among other things. I mention that now, because when I just tried to speak to Ancynay in igpay atinlay, half of it wanted to come out in Spanish Pig Latin.

    Is there such a thing?

    This reminded me of Cheaper by the Dozen, too! The dad wrote lessons all over the bathroom walls so the kids wouldn’t waste a moment and learn even while in there. The book is a hoot! And it’s a true story.

    Back in the day
    of basketball games and lots of bus rides, we used to speak something
    called Foo.

    I just realized
    right now that it must be a cousin of miss Piggy
    Latin.
