Yes my way is poetic, and I like using old English sometimes just for the romanticism of it.

Great Scott! I don't mean that old...
You could invest in Luminosity to exercise your noggin, or you could read my posts. You get to choose. Isn't that GREAT?
and so forth???
Hwæt! We Gar-Dena in gear-dagum
þeod-cyninga, þrym gefrunon,
hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon!
Oft Scyld Scefing sceaþena þreatum
monegum mægþum meodo-setla ofteah;
egsode eorl[as] syððan ærest wearð
feasceaft funden; he þæs frofre gebad,
weox under wolcnum, weorð-myndum þah,
oðæt him æghwylc þara ymb-sittendra
ofer hron-rade hyran scolde,
gomban gyldan. Þæt wæs god cyning!
That was a good king, indeed!
Ho hum. No more lists for me. I think.
ok then Chaucer:
Whan that aprill with his shoures soote
The droghte of march hath perced to the roote,
And bathed every veyne in swich licour
Of which vertu engendred is the flour;
Whan zephirus eek with his sweete breeth
Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
Tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
Hath in the ram his halve cours yronne,
And smale foweles maken melodye,
That slepen al the nyght with open ye
(so priketh hem nature in hir corages);
Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,
And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes,
To ferne halwes, kowthe in sondry londes;
And specially from every shires ende
Of engelond to caunterbury they wende,
The hooly blisful martir for to seke,
That hem hath holpen whan that they were seeke.
So you're going to stop listing to port or starboard. I think that's probably a good thing.

Well I lost track, but whoever was winning last- you're not winning now.
That's not a very atracktive post.
I love to see brains think. I can't think of another reason why I might be here.

Hence I said I lost track. At least I did not lose tact
So are you tacking to port or starboard?

I have no preference, as long as this doesn't end up being me:
I think folk music is a lost art in this modern world
Additional: I think @Revoltingest is our drunken sailor
It's "he's" not "his" in those lyrics. But it is a great song.
Who is she? In the music video?
