How would you react if a poetry loving horse skeleton came to your house?

The mari lwyd is a ghost skeleton creature who tries to gain entry to your house to eat your food and drink your beer. It does this by knocking on your door and challenging you to a poetry contest.
So when the mari lwyd comes knocking how would you react?

I tell my wife I'm going to the pub with my new friend

I have an epic poetry battle at the door then bring him in to meet the family

I act like a over excited little girl who loves her horse zombies

I turn into Krampas and go for a ride

Wasn't he in the assassin's creed game?

This is why I carry a gun

I have never heard of that custom. I had to look it up.

Sounds fun. Since I would suck at Welsh poetry, I be like 'C' and then I'd 'A'. :-)

One of my many skills outside the bedroom is that I can recite this poem in about 30 seconds while drinking a beer.
When I have fears that I may cease to be
Before my pen has gleaned my teeming brain,
Before high-pilèd books, in charactery,
Hold like rich garners the full ripened grain;
When I behold, upon the night’s starred face,
Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance,
And think that I may never live to trace
Their shadows with the magic hand of chance;
And when I feel, fair Poppy of an hour,
That I shall never look upon thee more,
Never have relish in the faery power
Of unreflecting love—then on the shore
Of the wide world I stand alone, and think
Till love and fame to nothingness do sink.

This skelly horse will rue the day it challenged me to a Flyting.

"It is no great wonder,
if silk-clad dames
get themselves husbands, lovers;
but 'tis a wonder that a wretched man,
that has borne children,
should herein enter."

[SteveSmith1985]

I am quite amused by the weird-ass-shit, that comes into that weird-ass head. I know I don't end up answering your questions very often. Nevertheless your questions are definitely a part of my GAG experience. Thanks for being a weirdo. 🙂

Ask it if it can play bass or guitar. So we can spend the night playing music and drinking my homemade MEAD!

[MrOracle]

This is America. We have guns.

[purplepoppy]

Is there any greater argument for getting rid of guns than to encourage horse skeletons to visit?

[MrOracle]

Probably not, which is saying something considering what a non-argument that is. LOL.

[NathanDavis]

bring it... I'll battle in Spanish though...

[Iron_Man]

I would cook it and eat it on your behalf

[Morgador]

Sweet it's the Undead mount in WOWC
