Ærwulf & Eadwacer


This is a send-up on one of the most interesting surviving pieces of Old English poetry, Wulf and Eadwacer. You can learn more about it here.


Ærwulf is on one island, I am on another.

But that does not matter

for he is a helicopter gunship.

It is strong there, ringed by swamps,

Slaughter-fierce men crowd about

But he will tear them apart when he comes into their camp,

for he is a helicopter gunship.

It is not like that with us.
