While I like to cheat,
When guns are on the table

Fairy gold glitters
More brightly than mortal gold
That's how polish works

That's how Polish works
are better-made than Swedish:
our ships don't just sink.

Spoiler: show
Sorry not sorry. Context: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasa_(ship) , a ship built by Swedes to frighten the Poles, which sank while sailing out of Stockholm harbour.

Our ships don't just sink
sometimes they disintegrate
like they'd never been.

Secrets better left untold

But not so well kept
Butlers, butt lacking buttons 
Butter not so good
A man left his Icelandic home
Escaped to Denmark to freely roam
With hair braided red
He got hit on the head
With a crate lid slammed onto his dome

Fluent: :uk:
Fluent spoken, bad writing: :china:
Some knowledge: :france: :germany:
Odd word here and there: :japan:

As part of a healthy diet.
Switch to olive oil.
