Translation
If a situation for conversation
nessitates privacy,
don't assume that there's
some kind of conspiracy
Understand we all need
to communicate,
in a language of commonality
which we can reciprocate
Travel the world from maine
to spain
people will be people because
their just like me and you
Think about how you and your relatives
talk and you'll see that it's true
whether it's rap or french,
spanish or pig latin
It's freedom of speech
so you don't need a patent
We all have our own unique
way of expression
whether chitchating or making
a last confession

Clever - you were asked for rhyme, and you chose a genuine slang which gives you a monorhyme throughout the poem!

Hi, Nice one! It's Backslang - as an East Ender myself I know it's the jargon developed by cockney stall-holders to use among themselves without 'outsiders' being able to understand what they were saying. As kids we used to try talking to each other in Backslang and got quite good at it. Many thanks for taking part in the contest. Cheers, jimmy
