Safe to say, I won't be getting my Jèrriais version of The Tempest by Shakespeare completed in draft by the end of 2022; but FWIW here's Act 3 Scene 1

Bouanne Année!

Lé Pipl'ye Scroûbieux - The Scroobious Pip

Lé Pipl'ye Scroûbieux: it came into my head to do a Jèrriais version of The Scroobious Pip by Edward Lear. This nonsense poem was left unfinished at Lear's death and was only published posthumously in 1935. There are a few lines and words lacking, and one would think that Lear would have tidied up the scansion here and there if he's got round to finishing it. Since first publication a number of completions have been undertaken, including that of Ogden Nash in 1968. Of course, in translating the poem, I've filled in any missing portions and rearranged as necessary for poetic purposes or mere whim.

Previously, I've done Jèrriais versions of Lear's The Owl and the Pussycat, The Jumblies, and some limericks
