Yesterday's prompt, "Wolpertinger":

The thirty-first of June each year,
A license can be purchased here,
For those who have the right I.Q.
(Between fifty and seventy-two).
From midnight until two o’clock,
The hunters are allowed to stalk
The legendary antlered hare…
I’ve seen a few myself, I swear.

Just because there are limits to "reconstructing" does not mean authenticity goes out the window, and everything is a free-for-all.

Plastic , plastic Paddies, , etc., still need to be rejected.

History is not the only source of authenticity—or even the main one.
