Check this out: the BBC has a small flash programme that allows you to build "a poem" to see the origins of certain words in Norman English. Okay, so there's no big shakes to the programme, but putting together the words can be fun, especially if you try to make the poem as dirty as possible. As you can see from the N-S-G Doctor's screen-cap, he was able to finagle something just lurid enough to win a Norton competition for Best Postmodern Erotic Poem. Er, well, maybe not-- but as bad as it is, it's still better than, well, let's just say enough of the stuff out there.... Can anyone tell I'm seriously procrastinating today?  |  |
ADDENDUM: Anyone want to try to submit their poems? Go for it-- I daaaaaaaares ya.....
