Champion Cold

Exactly who is strongest? As above, so below. Which, pray tell, did the gods best? Spring, sprig mistletoe... 'Under heaven' read the sign. Only one could tell! Fancifully or by design? Witches, cast thy spell! Roundabout the ruddy run? Has twilight begun? Forlorn yet still having fun? Midnight before one! Warlord of the ages? O conquerors, take heed: Serene, are ye, sages? Draw bead, O my greed! Plead? To who? Doth ye bleed blue? Hope, need ye accrue? O for hearts a-torn in two! Mistakes, need we rue? Crew of skeletons at work? How then best to shirk? Daring devils, draw thy dirk! Who's the master, jerk? Psychology, operate! Target, O my hate! Grown up, ghast, upon the great? Limestone, set thy date! Fate, thy fortune. Soaked like wood. Down the sea-cliff fall. Concepts like the idea 'good'! Brood of big and small! Should? O for us, to the last! Hanged from every mast! Alabaster, set in plast! Machine, get first fast...
