A poem about an interaction at the local pub between a patron and my wife.

I were just wonderin’
Are yous all togefer?
I heared you all come in
And I fought, ‘they aren’t local’.
Your Scottish? Oh, Blackpool,
Well, all the Scots go there anyway.
Your fella? Welsh! And he’s wearin’ a woolly jumper look!
Oh, and your Spanish?
What your name?
‘Judit’
Juee?
‘Judit’
Edit?
‘Judit’
And can you speak good English?
‘Apparently not’.
