ABF Friday: Off Piste edition!
Why do we call it the “off piste” edition? Because, arbitrarily but funnily enough, today’s installment of Things I Write is over here, off piste. Have an ABF weekend, everyone. And sing!
Sumer is icumen in,
Lhude sing cuccu!
Groweþ sed and bloweþ medAnd springþ þe wde nu,
Sing cuccu!
Awe bleteþ after lomb,
Lhouþ after calue cu.
Bulluc sterteþ, bucke uerteþ,
Murie sing cuccu!
Cuccu, cuccu, wel þu singes cuccu;Ne swik þu nauer nu.
The last line means “and you don’t stop.” Variant: throw your hands in the air, and wave ‘em like you just don’t care.
(That one was for you, Dr. Virago, if you’re still using the internets.)
You are now in American Airspace.
