NK - Not Chaucer

[merle at webzone.net]

I think this piece of pseudo-Old English is
accessible to readers of modern English.

Enjoy,
Christoph

Meanehwael, baccat meaddehaele,
monstaer lurccen;
Fulle few too many drincce, hie
luccen for fyht.
[D]en Hreorfneorht[d]hwr, son of
Hrwaerow[p]heororthwl,
AEsccen aewful jeork to steop
outsyd.
[P]hud! Bashe! Crasch! Beoom!
[D]e bigge gye
Eallum his bon brak, byt his nose
offe;
Wicced Godsylla waeld on his asse.
Monstaer moppe fleor wy[p] eallum
men in haelle.
Beowulf in bacceroome fonecall
bemaccen waes;
Hearen sond of ruccus saed, "Hwaet
[d]e helle?"
Graben sheold strang ond
swich-blaed scharp
Sond feorth to fyht [d]e grimlic foe.
"Me," Godsylla saed, "mac [d]e
minsemete."
Heoro cwyc geten heold wi[p]
faemed half-nelson
Ond flyng him lic frisbe bac to fen.
Beowulf belly up to meaddehaele bar,
Saed, "Ne foe beaten mie faersom
cung-fu."
Eorderen cocca-colha yce-coeld,
[d]e reol [p]yng.
