Studying Chaucer
by Shawn Smith- Feb 28, 2007
Although his rhyme is rather queer
I find it pleasant to my ear
Although I am now forty-two
To me his work his something new
So off to Becket I will go
And though my progress may be slow
I must traverse both hills and dales
Reading "The Canterbury Tales"
Though words obscure like "course-y-ronne"
Though spelling strange like the "younge-sonne"
It's understanding I will seke
But, alas, I only have a weke
*************
Sarno-ize it!

Thanks for that Shawn, that was very amusing. Send it off to a poetry review, it's worthy of publication.
I was an English major way-back until I switched to Anthro, a shorter major to hurry-up and get graduated. My faves were Henry James, James Joyce and Mark Twain. Never could get through Dostoyesvsky, Faulkner was equally turgid.
Regards,
