There is one year until he reaches the magic age of 60, time enough for someone with more creativity than me to do a version of the intro to Beowulf: You have heard of the Danish kings in the old days & how they were great warriors.... He prospered under the sky until the people everywhere listened when he spoke. He was a good king!... Shield had a son, child for his yard, sent by God to comfort the people, to keep them from fear.... Young princes should do as he did -- give out treasures while they're still young so that when they're old people will support them in time of war.... Shield died at his fated hour, went to God still strong.... Now he had a golden banner high over his head, was, sadly by a rich people, given to the sea. The wisest alive can't tell where a death ship goes. I think Max’s poem for Gleanne should be a sonnet but Mike deserves an elegy/encomium – a song of praise for a great king.
