My compliments to your tongue
For doing an absolutely superb job
In unfamiliar territory --
Prior experience is evident
By an uncanny ability
To get to the heart of the matter
Through minimal probing --
Mastery was clearly demonstrated
through a variety of techniques
And an apparent intuitive sense that
Location, location, location
is what really counts
