If one needed
Definitive proof
Of the cliche
"Music is the
Universal language",
My friend
Paige
Could surely
Provide it.
New to
This country,
She speaks
And understands,
As yet,
Few words
Of English.
But fire up
Some Pogues
Or
Van Morrison
Or
Tom Petty
And
Despite
The language barrier,
A mile-wide
Grin
Instantly appears -
Accompanied by
Some
Spontaneous
Killer
Dance moves.
Impressive indeed
For a gal
On
The planet
Only
14
Months!
