Zebraic Englyn - alternate (more technically
correct) version
The
obscure Englyn
Lledfbroest is a four-line stanza, four of which I have
here arranged into a poem. It should be done in Welsh, but
I did it in English anyway. In the primary version, I
grouped each diphthong ending together for a single stanza,
which also breaks the rules, but MORE.
Zoos
may feed their zebras hei
But
such zebras tend to sae.
They
want food a bit less chwy;
It's
easier to destroe.
"Why
not
carrots?" they sei.
"Some
beans would be nice to trae.
To
sink into something gwy
Is
what my teeth would enjoe."
Zebras
are
always okei
Even
when weather is drae.
They'll
digest plantlife scrwy
That
would others' stomachs cloe.
But
at
the end of the dei
The
absence of cakes or pae
Is
why zebras' drear ennwy
Makes
them easy to annoe.
