High Imperial Ketek

[Pinnacle-Ferring he/him]

So, @Delightful and I were talking about nothing in particular today, and for some strange reason, she challenged me to write a ketek in High Imperial about a Horneater princess and some boots.

For some even stranger reason, I accepted and wrote this little ditty.

I hope you enjoy it!

Wasing the Horneater princess, paired with a new friend, of the taking of the boots, for her big two feet of the walking

Wasing the apparently airsick lowlander giving of the insult, dishonoring of the name
Naming of the dishonored, insult of the giving, lowlander’s airsickness of the apparent wasing
Walking of the feet, too big for her boots, in the taking of the friendly new pair, the Horneater princess wasing

Constructive criticism or questions about the hopeless obtuseness of the wording are welcome!

Edit- I wrote this ketek in regular English first and then translated it as best I could into High Imperial, so I thought I might as well add on the original ketek to hopefully make the High Imperial one a bit more clear.

Paired with a new friend, a Horneater princess then took boots for her big two feet on her walk

An apparently airsick lowlander gave insult, dishonored her name

Her name dishonored, insult given, the lowlander’s airsickness was apparent

To walk on her feet, too big for her boots, took then the princess Horneater a friendly new pair

I know I used a homophone in there instead of words with the same root, but I like the way it turned out, so there.

Enjoy!

That is awesome! It just makes me happy, and I don't really know why . It totally made my day.

This is great. I've been trying to learn High Imperial for a little bit now. It's partly easy, because it technically doesn't have to be correct, because it's supposed to sound like gibberish, but at the same time, it sounds like gibberish so it's just confusing. But! I will persevere!

@Pinnacle-Ferring I challenged you to write a poem in High Imperial written in Alethi. You decided it had to be a Ketek.

What can I say? I'm a masochist.

I'm just saying I can't take the blame for that one.
