@sothach it's all Gerdagum to me xx
@Geri Never really undestood that stanza:
Hwæt! Wē Gārdena in gēardagum...

Hwæt! Wē Gārdena in gēardagum...
Listen up! We of the Garden hoses of bygone days...
@sothach I always read geardagum as "days of old"
It echoes the classical 'sing' muses as an opener
I assume a typo hoses on your part xx
@Geri "Gardena" are a large German manufacturer of garden hoses.
