A Night out With Chaucer (Free verse) by cleverdevice
Three fellowes wenten into a pubben
And gleefully theyr hands did rubben
In expectation of revelleree
For it is the hour that is happee.
Great botles of wyne did they quaffe
An hadde a reely goode laff
'Til drunkeness helde ful dominion
Fore it was two fore the price of onenen.
And after wyne and mead and sacke
The did muste haff a massif snacke;
Great pasties from Cornwalle,
Great Scotiische egges, lyke a balle,
Great hams, quayls, duck and gees
They sucked the bonnes and dranke the grees
And one fellowe stood alle pale and wan
For he was a vegitarian.
Yet manne knoweth the gluttonee
Stoketh the fyre of lecheree
Upon three yung wenches rounde and slye
The fellowes caste a wanton eye
One did approch with drunken winke
'Hello luv, fancee a drinke?'
Soone they caughte theme on theyr nees
It was lyke grislee puppetree
Such was the loodnes and debacheree
It was lyke a sketche by Dick Emeree
(Excepte Dick Emeree is not yett borne
So comparison maye nott be drawne.)
Then the fellowes began to pale
For quayl are not the frend off ale
And inn theyr bellyes much confutionn
Fromm theyr throtes vyle extrutionns
Stynkyng foul corruptionn
Came spewing forth from drooling lippes
The fetidd stenche didd fyll the pubbe
It wass the arse of beelzebubbe.
Throwne they wer from 'Horne and Trumpete'
Uponn the street no coyne no strumpette
Homeward bounde they mustt quikly go
To thatt ende a donkey stole
Their handes all with vomyt greesed
The donkey it was nott pleesed
And threwe them in a ditche of shite
They all agreede 'Whatt a brylliante night!
