Like, A Foreign Film

They chatted on beside me
as boys and girls will do
and I’d love to tell you what I overheard

But their speech was unfamiliar
not your usual parlez-vous
and I barely understood a single word:

                He went Oh
                and she was like Whoa
                so he goes Awesome
                and he’s like Totally
                but she’s like Get Out!
                and he goes Huh?
                then he’s like No Way!
                but she goes Way!
                then he’s like Forever?
                and she’s like Whatever 
                so he goes Bummer
             I hate for it to end

 Then they lapsed into a silence
I could totally comprehend
