How interesting and most especially for us writers to discover a new word 'triglot' - never heard of it - it's akin to the ancient explorers discovering new lands !!

Comment from Y. M. Roger
This is WONDERFUL -- a most splendid endeavor you should enjoy to the fullest! :) :) :) This first is a great start -- has that light, airy feel (not stilted or contrived) to it that is always inviting to readers of all ages yet you actually cram a lot "teaching" in there -- great job!
I look forward to your many additions to follow -- thank you for sharing!

This is one of my favorite of your weird word curiosities...so clever making it a limerick..
I liked her name...Rosetta Stone...clever
I know a smattering of 3 languages...I'd have to call that a smatter-lot rather than a triglot

Au revoir
See ya
God bless

This is very well-written and I love the beautiful picture, she is radiant. Anytime you can use the word triglot in any form is wonderful. Best of luck with the rest of your book!
Have a great day and God bless.

Comment from Robbie Yates
Bahahaha. I love limericks and this is no exception. That Rosetta Stone was a resourceful young woman, what with her triglot and her multiple boyfriends across several countries. A great poem, Craig!
