Sure You Can Ask Me A Personal Question…
By Konrad Morgan Lehmann
Sure you can ask me a personal question.
Yeah actually I did move here a couple years ago,
Yes, from England and Yes from London.
No I’m not lying I’ve just lost my accent now.
Sure I can go back to my accent from before,
No, I can’t be bothered to say that in an English accent
Don’t ask me again.
Trust me I’m not lying.
Yes I drink tea,
Yes I love cottage pie,
And crumpets, and scones.
But not all English people do,
And no, not lying.
No I don’t like cricket,
And I don’t play rugby.
Yeah I play football,
The real football, that is.
But no, I wouldn’t lie.
Yes I’m an immigrant,
No, not illegal. And actually no one is illegal
Did you mean undocumented?
And yes I’m also German,
Yes I can speak it fluently.
I can’t be bothered to say that in German
No trust me; I’m not lying.
Yes I have family in Germany,
And quite a lot.
No, not I’m not related that man,
He was actually Austrian.
No, I’m not lying.
Yes I like sausage,
Of course I don’t drink beer,
But I couldn’t be bothered to go through this again,
Especially not in German or in an English accent–
And no, I’m not lying.
