[My second vogon poem is dedicated to my beloved fellow poet and friend, Gershon Wolf, who will probably spend hours trying to translate it!]

Mft dear freinde fraddledert
Wheend mft thnkeded ursted yewt,
Mft harte is sdanmiftte that yew arst gwond
For mft long to see mfte fraddedert tronca more,
Mft dear freinde oterrbkkt to mfttet.

Are you sure you got the translation? I still haven't heard that GW has it figured out. It's really fairly easy, Caren. My goodness, what a waste of time!!!!!

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! I am descending into my inner chamber of chambers, and I shall not emerge until I have decoded your masterpiece, Milt. See you next century. lol... Thanks for the chuckle before I head to dreamland tonight, my friend. I'll be counting mfts or mftes, as the case may be. Smiles, Gershon

Glad you found it, Gershon. I thknks it really is decipherable, but I'm not sure. If anyone can do it, you can! When you give up, I'll give you a rough translation!

It looks very complicated... For some reason it made me laugh... Clever you. I wonder if Gershon has worked it out.

I haven't heard from Gershon, so I don't know whether he has read it or not. Actually, it probably can be figured out, I think...I thinc...I chenk. Thanks so much for your read and your comment.
