PIG LATIN

Pig Latin is a made-up language formed from English by transferring the initial consonant or consonant cluster of each word to the end of the word and adding the sound of long A - spelled AY. For example: NIX would be IXNAY and CHICKEN SOUP would be ICKENCHAY OUPSAY. Pig Latin is typically spoken playfully, as if to convey secrecy.

1. Can you think of a slang term for something commonly consumed at breakfast and "translate" it into pig Latin to form another item commonly consumed at breakfast?

2. In this flat, the keyword FIRST is the English word, and the keyword SECOND is the pig Latin version of it.

Now that the campaigns
Are so eagerly SECOND,
I FIRST if the rancor and spite
Can ever be reckoned.

Answers:

1. Coffee is slangily known as JOE. JOE in pig Latin is OEJAY = OJ (orange juice).

2)
Now that the campaigns 

Are so eagerly UNDERWAY,
I WONDER if the rancor and spite 
Can ever be reckoned.
