Volapuk
Take a teaspoonful of English, A modicum of Dutch, Of Italian just a trifle And of Gaelic not too much; Some Russian and Egyptian Add then unto the whole, With just enough to flavor Of the lingo of the Pole. Some Cingalese and Hottentot, A soupcon, too, of French. Of native Scandinavian A pretty thorough drench ; Hungarian and Syriac, A pinch of Japanese With just as much of Ojibbeway -And Turkish as you please. Now stir it gently, boil it well, And, if you've decent luck, The ultimate residuum You'll find is Volapuk !
