Language Barriers

ring sings the phone screaming for attention
silence then a greeting I assume is being expressed
what is she saying? I heard my name, thanks for the mention
her switch from perfect english has me impressed
away from my previous thought I digress.
These sounds so foreign to my undeaf ears
are they talking of school, clothes, or beers?
I feel left out, so far away
If only I could understand the words they say.
I can't have this limit any more in my way
This new language I must learn today!
