An Ode to Sven Erik.....

If a face could launch a thousand ships,
then slaye the yonder door.
The door of creativity, divinity; of yore.


Of yesteryear; the pages cry,
they yeild their bursting song,
the decades that beheld them well,
were mearly rights of wrong.

You are the sheild of Benevere-
The gold of Alcazan,
The mighty wind of Timbuktu,
The tin that carries Spam.

The pen that writes will never shake,
from his lamented rest,
In answer to thine question,
You look groovy in a vest.

It's perfectly simple.
LOVE your poem to Jan K.

Open and expand your mind you week peasant.

Oh I get it... thanks, except it was actually Jan K who wrote it for himself:) But yours was really good! I think it captured what I have always tried to put into words myself.

Yes, I've basically fused a little Ibsen with MC Hammer. The results are very pleasing.

Master Kristian,
You are but noble and fair. How we wish to suckle from your humble radiance.

Hi Dad,
Just spoke to you on the phone - sorry I was so naff. Yes - I was considering using that opening line - maybe next time. Love you sooooo much,

Trine


My Dad's better than any of your Dad's!!!!

Your dead???
If you are referring to something that has ceased to exist then I'm completely confused. Perhaps you mean to threaten me with talks of hidden corpses in your Attic or, much more likely, you are merely trying to point out that some inhabitants of Norway are coma like dull people and may, to the untrained eye, seem dead. Maybe you are obsessed with people who no longer breathe?

(could be a typing error of course)

Either way your still blatantly wrong.

I'll just beat you to it:

"Oh gash, no!! Cut yourself? Where? Scars don't suit you, love! You're not the type! But you could learn to type, you know, FLAWLESS!! YOU PITIFUL AND INFERIOR NORWEGGIAN! I LAUGH AT YOUR SILLY GRAMMAR! BOAHAHAHA!!"

Oh-oh, Pre-emptive insults! The world will never be the same

Sven. I like you.

Jan K. Excellent pre-emptied insult, though, undoubtably, I would've used the word nog and possibly the expression "soup for brains" - but you weren't to know.

I would never laugh at your English:

1) because it's absolutely impressivly excellent
2)My nordic writing skills are naff and poor.
3)You're me mate.




p.s. you spelled Norwegian wrong.
