Pssst, let RookRAK sleep!

Ok, Nordlys. Here's your walrus folk song.

O'er the icebergs,
And down to the sea,
He arfs and he flops,
And he sings this to me.

(faster pace)
He sits on an iceberg,
All day long.
Arfin', and a-floping,
And a-singin' this song.
"Arf Arf,
Arfity flop flop."
He flops to the left,
He flops to the right,
Arfin' and a-flopin',
And a-singin' tonight.

And that's the first verse.
Now, a walrus hiaku.

Girth, wisdom, pacience,
To see the sun and the sky,
All walri must flop.

All walri must flop.

Thank you ark, that was a lovely walrus song! I would really like to hear it in the original Walrussian, though.

Ok, but the only word we say is "arf." Our whole language is about different tones of speech.

Arf arf arf arf,
Arf arf arf arf,
Arf arf arf arf,
Arf arf arf arf,

Arf arf arf arf,
Arf arf arf arf,
Arf arf arf arf,
Arf arf arf arf,


Arf arf arf arf,
Arf arf arf arf,

Very nice, thank you! (And the only punctuation you use in Walrussian is the comma? )

It was a rough translation. 😉

Good evening all.

How is our patient doing? Still on life support, I see.

God morgen, RookRAK 🙂

I switched off the life support when I left, but it seems the thread survived anyway. 😞

"Evening"? It's past 2am at your place, right? I wouldn't call that "evening"... Good morning, wucky 🙂
