Hello there. Would you please help me with the meaning of this sentence?

"He discovered at the age of 70 that he had been speaking prose all his life?"

what does it mean to "speak prose" here?

Hi, It's just a joke. 'Prose' is just a fancy word for the ordinary form of a language, in this case English. Eveybody speaks prose.
