Cunning Linguist

Flew my mouth south for the winter

Now the tropics are my home

Tongue swirling through the forest

Bringing on the rain foretold

.

Circling a lush oasis

‘Til it opens up its doors

Deeper and deeper I go

Brushing every single wall

.

Suction cup that sweet spot

While you hum the whole way through

Map out each wall vibration

Like fingers tend to do

.

If you trigger an earthquake

They’ll name the day for you
