Native Tongue

Ну что язык --
Язык поможет
тонкости мысли описать.
И ложку облизать
он сможет.
От него ето не отнять.

Your native tongue,
of some assistance
in capturing a nuanced thought.
Could lick a spoon too,
one more instance
where it will be denied for naught.

Author notes: In Russian, language and tongue is the same word (as in mother tongue, or native tongue), and so I play on that here.
