For English Pick Up the Anglophone

 

For English pick up the Anglophone

For French the Francophone

For others in Canada the Allophone

          (“‘Allo! ‘Allo!”)

For Mandarin or Cantonese the Sinophone

For Portugal the Lusophone

In Deutschland perhaps the Deutschesphone

          (or perhaps not)

And in Russia the Russophone

 

Please phone in, everyone

 

Because isn’t it wonderful -

So many phones, and each with a direct line to God

"For English, Press 1..." - rhyming doggerel

“For English, press 1; for Spanish, press 2…”

But every caller speaks in an English tone –
Personne ne parle Français sur mon Anglophone!
