cŵn annwn:

     k-hhhh-n anne-wyn-

sue me,
the Welsh sometimes
hark

   like a smoker of
tobacco harks up
some excess phlegm

after a momentary lapse
into coughing -

harking -
   senile and bogus
English - and that spaghetti
h'american ęglish -

love by insult -
then again, not really:
love by teasing -

reign from above,
reign from below -
meeting in the middle
hinging on the letters -

not sure whether it's a K for the c -
or whether i'm invited to
use the Roman sigma -
the Gauls' cedilla -

         çŵn -

    ah, the Greeks, and their
orthographic aesthetics -
in the trinity of sigma -

                  ςŵν     αννłν -

i'm still for enforcing
the reintroducing the grapheme
into the Polish concept of
its pompous orthography
for the less literate
graffiti "artists"...

                and there are...
rz, cz, sz, ch    exceptions...
æ & œ...
   Adam & Eve,
    Orpheus & Eurydice -

  just to make it "easier" -
      the language could do with
some aesthetic
      improvements -
given it's so concerned
with orthography -

  and that's what you might
notice about the Polacks -
zero interest in metaphysics -
always the sort of
people concerned with
orthography...

no wonder Nietzsche called
us the equivalent
of the French, among the Slavs;

nice compliment.
