[Loch-Ruadh] Speaking Forsoothly - Daily Lesson 13

[Klfrench1023 at aol.com]

I'm sure that there were as many names for it then as there are now.   People 
haven't really changed that much, and we're all still basically  entertained 
by the same things.  If you've ever read Chaucer translated  directly, it's 
full of bawdy stories.  Some of them made me laugh so hard I  thought I would 
pee my pants!  If they'd given us some of those in High  School to read instead 
of 'Chanticleer the Rooster', I'm sure that my entire  senior class would've 
shown a whole new outlook toward and devotion to the study  of medieval English 
literature.
