2022.4 Drake

This one’s all the fault of @poetrynonstop, specifically Ken Cumberlidge, who introduced us to this form (which is, of course, on the magical spreadsheet). On this day in 1581, Queen Elizabeth I knighted Francis Drake for sailing around the world. But this might not be about just him...

Be careful; common men fare badly circumnavigating principalities. Pursue a brighter star; climb higher than them.

They call you names,
the ones within your sphere.
No matter now.

Can you see them still?
The ones you left there?


A Drakeposting Meme image, using the original images of Drake in an orange jacket rejecting one thing and approving another. The top right-hand quadrant, being rejected, is an image of a portrait of Sir Francis Drake looking rather sarcastic. The bottom right-hand quadrant, being approved, holds two images: a red, scaly, fantasy dragon with four legs, no wings, horns, and a pale underbelly, and an illustrated equation (N = R x fp x ne x fl x fi x fc x L) corresponding to a series of circles with arrows.
Images put together by me and taken from Google Image searches on, respectively: “Drake meme”, “Francis Drake”, “drake dragon”, and “Drake equation
