The mother tongue is the mother
of all tongues, including half tongue,
two tongue and ten tongue, so named
for the weight they must bear. Ten tongue
is a misspelling, which is common as it is
properly “then tongue” for forgotten languages
that mis letters, or have completely
unnecesssary letters, or periodically snip
or in-snert letters at random. Many mis
understandings are a result of using “ten
tongues,” especially because ancient languages
are archaic and seldom used as a result.
Which makes it necessary if you want to be a lawyer.
Two tongue is the performer as it reveals
and hides a lot simultaneously. Employed by
politicians everywhere. It’s also an unusual
sexual experience. Half tongue is the baby
and everyone’s favourite because it barely
weighs anything.

There’s no arguing with a mother tongue,
unless you are another mother tongue.
Some people claim father tongues are equal
to mother tongues but they are clearly mistaken.
Unless nature is completely re-organized
there is only one mother tongue.
