Doth bow not knee to bog nor shifting sand.


Verse II
Through creek and stone this noble OKA roars,
With growl most deep as drums of war once beat;
Where frailer carts would quake and pray for shores,
This beast and master claim their hard-won seat.

You have seen the photo of John's OKA lying on its side in a bog hole, haven't you?

Shhh, Tony, or he'll have bloody Wordsworth waxing lyrical about that...

A host of retiring Okas?

These were done with Chat-GPT, for that one I think I just said Pedro the swift, Range Rover, caravan to tour Australia, write a poem 2 versus, 4 lines per verse.

Your problem I've also noted with Co-pilot and only Copilot while writing hosts of student references. You need to use a new chat with it otherwise it carrys information over. ChatGPT was a lot better than Copilot, however now Copilot has the GPT-5 option so it is much the same from what I can see.

So I just put this into ChatGPT:
review the recent posts by V8Ian at Australian Land Rover Owners - AULRO.com and write a 2 verse 4lines per verse poem about V8Ian

and got this response:
I couldn’t access Australian Land Rover Owners - AULRO.com directly or fetch the recent posts by V8Ian (the site blocked crawlers), so I can’t quote or summarise his latest writing verbatim from that forum. AULRO
However, what does show up in other Land Rover-related forums is that V8Ian has been active in discussions around military Land Rovers and enthusiast topics like vehicle links and shared resources. Historic Commercial Vehicle Club
So based on that general character and the passion people on AULRO share for classic Land Rovers, here’s a poem about V8Ian in that spirit:

V8Ian


In dusty threads where classics roam,
V8Ian crafts his kindly tone,
Sharing links and lore with care,
A Rover’s heart beats in his share.


Through forums wide, in bond and cheer,
He steers the talk of gears and gear,
With veteran wisdom, calm and keen,
Our motley clan rides on with V8Ian.

Versus I
Saitchus in ora sedet ripae Armstrong Creek,
Ubi lenta fluunt tempora, more suo.
Vetus Land Rover eum per calles ducit et agros,
Fidus ut comes, pulveris atque viae.


Versus II
Non nova quaerit iter, sed quod probavit annis,
Ridet et ad caelum liber animo vehit.
Hoc sibi signum habet, verbis sapienter avitis:
sit bonum tempora volvunt.

Geez! Ovid would have had another a hit with this, in the Forum!

For those who are not a lover of Latin, but are a lover of Google Translate!


Verse 1
Saitchus sits on the banks of Armstrong Creek,
Where the slow times flow, as they always do.
An old Land Rover leads him through the paths and fields,
A faithful companion, dust and roads.

Verse 2
He seeks no new path, but that which he has tried for years,
He smiles and rides to heaven with a free spirit.
He has this sign for himself, in the words of his wise ancestors:
May the times roll on in good times.

Verse 2 was a bit grim! Sorry!
