To catch the breezy air
And I must think do all I can,
That there was pleasure there.

    Yes, special indeed

  2. ShadowSplicer says:

    *Farts* Wow! It sure is ‘breezy’ in here!

  3. sillywhiskers says:

    That would not be so special!

  4. Alysaurus says:

    This actually isn’t Engrish, it’s the last three lines of a 4-line stanza of William Wordsworth’s poem, “Lines Written in Early Spring.” The missing first line reads “The budding twigs spread out their fan,”
    Some punctuation is missing in the other three lines, but other than that, they are accurate to the poem.
    I only know this because I literally just turned a paper in yesterday in which I analyzed this poem, so that’s crazy timing if I ever saw it.

      Crazy like your head.

    • Lungdoc says:

      Well spotted! Could this be a new category of Engrish–the use of fragments of sensible English literature in a context which makes it into nonsense? -Anyway, thanks for sharing the source of the fragment!

        Engrish literature…

        • JohnB says:

          Let us all pray for the day when we can take this in college or high school instead of having to slog through Chaucer. (You are exempt from this injunction, of course, Dr. H, since you like Chaucer and don’t like prayer.)

          • lexan D says:

            Yech, Chaucer.
            I’ve been a bookworm since I was very young but I detested Chaucer. It was assigned in H.S. by a teacher who absolutely adored him. It had been only time I had to resort to Cliff notes. If she hadn’t become ill we would have spent more than half the year on him.
            *shudders*

    • Droll not Troll says:

      Oh. I was thinking that these were missing lines from “Still Alive” (from Portal). ;)

  5. ShadowSplicer says:

    “Why dois your brand sae drap wi bluid, Edward, Edward,
    Why dois your brand sae drap wi bluid.
    why sae sad gang yee O?”
    I hae killed my hauke sae guid,
    And I had nae mair but hee O.”
    “Your haukis bluid was nevir sae reid, Edward, Edward,
    Your haukis bluid was nevir sae reid,
    My deir son I tell thee O.”
    “O I hae killed my reid roan steid, Mither, mither,
    O I hae killed my reid roan steid,
    That erst was sae fair and free O.”

    That is a ballad written in Scottish-English dialect in the century before King James. In that time, this WAS poetry!

  6. la conejita says:

    Oh, how cute. The little bunny is spreading around her special wishes even if no one can understand them.

  7. KinkyTom says:

    there WAS pleasure here

    but the hooker left 5 minutes ago in her pimps car from the motel we were staying at

    she liked to be call Bunny : P

  8. Queen o'sarcasm says:

    pleasure indeed, we got wishes!

  9. dr handle says:

    This is a misprint; the text of this card should actually be that of a condolences message, after the death of a beloved pet:

    I heard your pet rabbit has died; poor Muffet.
    You have two choices now: eat it, or stuff it.

  10. gabby says:

    ah escuse me ah i do not ah undah stand wat is ah so funny and laughing. someone plz plz ah tell me wat it ah mean?!

  11. Rob says:

    And I must think do all I can…

  12. person says:

    Internet illiteracy has got to the stage where Wordsworth is a fail? Dear oh dear…

    LINES WRITTEN IN EARLY SPRING

    I HEARD a thousand blended notes,
    While in a grove I sate reclined,
    In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts
    Bring sad thoughts to the mind.

    To her fair works did Nature link
    The human soul that through me ran;
    And much it grieved my heart to think
    What man has made of man.

    Through primrose tufts, in that green bower,
    The periwinkle trailed its wreaths; 10
    And ’tis my faith that every flower
    Enjoys the air it breathes.

    The birds around me hopped and played,
    Their thoughts I cannot measure:–
    But the least motion which they made
    It seemed a thrill of pleasure.

    The budding twigs spread out their fan,
    To catch the breezy air;
    And I must think, do all I can,
    That there was pleasure there. 20

    If this belief from heaven be sent,
    If such be Nature’s holy plan,
    Have I not reason to lament
    What man has made of man?
