Gruntbuggly My Foe

Months in the planning, delayed in the execution... I had the idea of trying to make Vogon poetry sound as pretty as possible, and challenging others to do interesting things with Vogon poetry, in recognition of the 42nd anniversary of the initial broadcast of The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I noticed some rhyme parallels between the first parts of William Byrd's "Fortune, My Foe" and the poem recited by Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz. So there we went.

I'd hoped to be able to get my adaptation polished a bit by those near me who are more skilled at such things, and then performed by my SCA choir. None of that happened. Perhaps soon, when people are less overwhelmed by things.
