“God’s blood and forsooth
how goes thy youth
from fair to uncouth
dressed in that motley wear.
It chills one to the core
to see thee on the floor;
thy girth much disrespected
its fulsome fare projected,
then to the room ejected
make poison of mine air,
a piggery thou shouldst share.
Thou layest there wine ripe
so pale with breath so rare,
to a corpse thou dost compare,
still insulting this sweet wife
and all thy miss-spent life,
blissfully unaware that
the morrow will attest,
a scarecrow in an empty nest.

Congrats to you
I can honestly and sadly say that I don't understand this poem probably because of the olde English but that is what makes it great to me and funny because the verbiage is so beyond me I can't help but laugh because of my ignorance to it. I should know better and know what your saying but I get the gist so congrats again!! -
