Question:

A Poetry Challenge for my Y!Posee?

I challenge someone to re-write this poem again using the Nadsat language of Burgess' A Clockwork Orange. (I'd do it myself, but that would take all the fun out of it!)

Here's the poem (by TD Euwaite):

I attend the church of "Nothing"
I follow the way of the "N"
At the alter there stands no man
Only the "N", again and again
"Nothing" is said, only "Nothing"
We bow at the end, bow to "N"
We chant out "N" in praise of "N"
In the name of the "N" we do beg...

For in this temple, "Nothing" is sacred
