You Have An Accent Too Poem by Hebert Logerie

Of course, you have an accent
You speak funny too. What's important
Is to be understood. Good vocabulary
Is essential too. Speak loud and clearly
To be understood. You have an accent
Too. Be open, polite, pleasant and patient
Keep on talking and chatting to each other
Miscommunication causes miscomprehension
Learn novel words and maintain flawless diction
Say something nice. Start a conversation
With a neighbor. Smile, say hello to a stranger
Be courteous to another pedestrian or a driver
Wave to an elderly person, blow a sweet kiss
To a spouse and spread kindness wishes for peace.
