It's only a fragment, recently unearthed on a construction site in
Leicester. Experts believe it dates from the 8th century and is the
first example of Anglo-Saxon futuristic writing, more to come, I
believe, when deciphering follows

Slobhead was senior and sired sons
though toothless, taut-twined in sinew
and landlord lordly of luckless,
call-centre manager, creator
of wages minimum, winner worldly,
friend of Fuckwit, fountain of booze,
