Pants game

Siggy - LOL!

Ah, Middle Ages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ich_am_of_Irlaunde

Ich am of Irlaunde,
And of the holy londe
Of Irlande.
Gode sire, pray ich thee,
For of sainte charite,
Come and daunce wit me
In pants. :)

the funny thing there tailor is I am so unfamiliar with the original quote, "pants" seems to be fitting, no pun intended.

“I have spread my dreams under your feet.
Tread softly because you tread on my pants.”― W.B. Yeats (it is unclear as to whether or not yeats was actually wearing pants when he penned that phrase)

that's a really good example of the quotes still making sense!
