Double Talk
.
As young people in Phillips schools, our communications were wild.
Sure we all knew pig latin, but Double Talk had much more style.
This poem just gives a few examples of how double talk looks,
When two people get into a conversation, it really cooks.

Dolfuble Talfalk
.
Ailfa polfoem ilfin dolfuble Talfalk ilfis harlfard tolfu realfeed.

( the above double talk verse translates as follows:)
.
“Double Talk
.
A poem in Double Talk is hard to read.
So just don’t worry if you just don’t heed.
My daughter Tamara can understand this too,
If you want to learn this, let her teach you.”

( verse translation)

“We said words like chicken shit,
So the teachers would not understand it.
It was so much fun we did crack up.
And the teachers never did pick it up.”

“Since I left high school, I never heard it again,
So I guess it was lost forever, it’s a sin,
Words like damnit and bull shit won’t be heard,
It’s a shame there won’t be no more double words.”

“Now that you have it, please spread it around,
So we can get this started and rebound,
I know the teachers will just go crazy,
You can talk the language and keep them hazy.”

The spell corrector went stark raving mad when I was doing this,
I hope I picked up all the unwanted corrections.
