The following were sent to Conculture by a slip of the mouse.  It was
suggested I post them here, with the interlinear, so---

Working on Irina's _Song of the Starling_ got me going.  Here are two more
in the same form, very different topic & style.

Free translation:
The wife says:
  Three years you roamed, sailing the seas--
  I plowed the field-- and here you are home again.
  We had to eat....my gold ear-rings got pawned.
  Oh my love,
  well now, what't this you've brought-- some damn fool Gwr thing?

The husband says:
   That's an electric skillet-- the meat won't stick...
   if you ever cook meat again...remember how?
   y'know, uku and pickle seven days a week....
  Oh my love,
  Just out of curiosity, whose baby is this?

Very colloquial style, with metical anomalies, like emphatic subject
pronouns (hat, mam) in unstressed position; elision of "anjyanulami" and
"tayakamelu"-- usually avoided, it makes things too easy; use of _na,
kyati_,  as jarring as yo! or ain't in formal Engl.   _feliyosh_ is a non-PC
term for the Gwr-- neut. pl. of feliyo 'fool' (I think I've mentioned,
they're very clever & tech oriented); _uku_ is a very bland boiled
grain, the pickles help you choke it down-- the food of poverty.

These are the sort of things people might start improvising, as the party
and the wine start moving along.
