I have heard you still play them
Those olde, sad songs you loved
Spirited fingertips touch ...
Upon the dusty keys
And haunting melodies...

The wife wants an handsome young hunk
To cavort with in his own bunk
And she would be happy
If you made it snappy
As she's prone for ye olde slam dunk!...

The second,off with his king to fight;
Ab third in a rectory might dwell
The youngest was to marr well..

Olde English in the vernacular
to celebrate a dialect
Language really said by men
poetized with words 
used there and then

Why Not
There once was a man from Olde Dublin
Whose wife said all that he did was a sin
      So he said, "Just as well,
      If I'm already going to hell."
And later that night did her in....

Premium Member The Luck of the Irish
A leprechaun looking for gold
'neath the shimmering shamrocks of olde
      (with the luck of a Gael)
      found ten bottles of ale
somewhat green as if covered with mould.

Ye Olde Testament
(aka Merçi à Lot)

God has a strict measure of worth
As well as a Jew's sense of mirth
God once said to Lot,
"You know what you've got?
Your wife is the Salt of the Earth!"...

On The Corner

Ye Olde Shoppe still stands on twelfth street
surviving despite the box stores.
The owners never miss a beat
always willing to hand out treats
to children who come through the doors.

The Beat of the Olde World
Doing what they love, all are welcome to try
Rhythms of passion fly in the night sky
Up and down the maddening notes dance 
Many drink and sing as drummers are in a trance
Seducing beats are the soul of the Medieval camp...

The Coastguard
Above the choppy,
viewed from
behind the glassy
winded and floppy.
He observes the flossy 
dark black rolling 
white and frothy.
Salt filtered manes blown 
acrossy limpits rocky 
trapping olde anchors rusty
amongst filleted fishy

I sauce a capon
but chine a salmon
I spoil the hen
but truss the chicken
I lift the swan
but disember the heron
I side a haddock
yet disfigure a peacock
A mallard I unbrace
but a coney I unlace
Olde English terms
Now lost without trace...

OLDE


Outlook moves heart with vivid poise,
Live your own art as love frames choice;
Do act your part in wholeness true,
End where you start with vibrant voice.
