Wild One Fantasy Poem by Douglas Scotney
Wild One Fantasy
Mildred said, from Old English ‘ongegn’,
“What are you against? ”
Johnny countered in kind from ‘gietan’,
“Whadda you got? ”
She used Latin
and said, “What are you contra? ”
He said 'possess'
instead of 'got'.
She said, “That's 'own',
‘āgan’ in Old English.”
He said, “Alright then,
I'm ongegn ev'rythin’ you āgan.”
