Death Mask

On a recent visit to Warwick Castle,
We saw the death mask of Oliver Cromwell:
The man famous for asking an artist to paint 
His portrait and show him warts and all.

I studied the stern features of the wax mask, 
And noted the prominent warts. 

He banned festivities, games and entertainments;
Had the joyless people preferred their lives
The way they once were with their king?
Or did they continue to rejoice the regicide?

As I studied Cromwell's likeness I wondered
Had the man who cast the mask thanked heaven
For ridding them of another dictator?

Lovell's Wharf

To Lovell's Wharf Warwick and I would go,
In need to find what little of our selfs was left,
After the storm-passions of domestic life had carved their share.
Answering the call, as mating birds do, we took up the song,
Beating rhythmically across her waters, 
To follow her scent riding high on the wind,
To amble gently to her side.
Finding our images mirrored in her depths,
Realising the way that lay ahead,
Past feathered lovers feeding quietly by her banks,
Past the place where I dared Warwick jump,
Towards the foreign ships wherein had always lain adventure.
Remembering those nights Margaret and Suzie - the sailor's friends
Prospered fully by surrendering themselves,
Remembering too, but some yards from Lovell's Wharf;
I lost what little innocence I had stored.

The Omen Road

I rode my bike down Omen Road,  
Knew they'd be after me, I'd reap what I sowed.  
Crossed into Jersey, saw a dead bird ahead—  
I prefer voices, I get symbols instead

In a pullout was a convertible with a man inside
He drew his finger across his nose, didn't approve this ride
By Greenwood Lake I smelled perfume as I climbed up the slope
I was tensing up, I was reaching the end of my rope

Heard two sarcastic guys in a parking lot
They could be talking about me, I hoped they were not
Should I keep on my course to Port Jervis Hotel?
Should I cut my trip short, heed the tolling bell?

(chorus)
For whom does the bell toll? Could it be me?  
Should I surrender my rights in the land of the free?  
It’s a grim kind of fate, riding this road,  
Where even roadkill is a phrase in a code.

 I cut through Warwick, a town old and serene
What I would encounter, who could have foreseen?
Passed a dead skunk on the road, who put it there?
Was I being paranoid, my accusation unfair?

Kept on a few miles, another dead skunk
I pinched myself, could I be drunk? 
Reached a platform, but no train in the station,  
Asked a bitter woman where I could find accomodation.

She sent me south, just a mile or two,  
But the motel was nowhere, her directions untrue.  
I asked a local man to search his cell phone
He found an old B and B that was not well known

The owners said I could stay, though it wasn't summer yet
This was an unexpected rescue, I felt in their debt
Next morning on the road, I ran into a dead fox
Does it pay to be clever, to think out of the box?

There’s a law of revenge, a law of crime,  
Their justice isn’t yours, nor is it mine.  
They were crusaders, but afraid of exposure 
I knew too much, there could never be closure.

Got to the Hudson, got on the train
No way to tell this story, all would think it insane
How can I go against sanity's flow?
When the mundane is an omen, what can I show?
If it can be explained away, it stays unknown
And the startled realization stays alone.

Tom Aggar

Tom’s the longest-serving member, 
Of the British para-rowing squad, 
Because whilst at a party, thunder, 
He fell, slipped with all his quad. 

He played rugby for Warwick Uni, 
Because he lived for, loved sport,
But Coventry’s hospital said he, 
Was paralysed, their true report. 

As part of his long rehabilitation, 
He took up rowing which he raved, 
And so grossed the competition, 
In Beijing 2008 which he engraved. 

He went from the 2007 Worlds -
The World Rowing Championships,
Where he won gold, short words,
To opportune a gold in 2008 hips.

In 2009, Portugal at the WRC’s,
He took another gold medal fair,
And again in 2010 he won the seas, 
And yet again in 2011, he did heir.

So in 2014 at the World Champs, 
He won a silver in Amsterdam, 
And in 2015 in France with amps, 
He took another silver gram. 

Tom was born 24th May in 1984,
As an eighties discotheque child;
He lives in Caversham, his door,
Into the world of contests dialled.

                 And
"The FargoCity Groove"

" Mondaynight" Mr. Embry Chirro
                  And
          The World Famous
Trimble " The Trubalyst" Stallfoux

Ended in a double d'q 
When  " Discuss " Mach Bissey interfered
Pummeling both members of both teams
With a folding chair.


"The master of the Simion Suouxpli "
Dizzy Kettlier Shumlaumb
Out wrested
Naff Daun Rico
In a 20 minute spectacle

Prettier Dungledant faced Theniss Love
In a one on one
Classic
Resulting in a pinfall
By Love at 37:59

"The Hilltop Heavyweight" and The Narrowminded Fool
Battled
Shines Cupid and Whatta Mann Warwick
In a Cattle Cove Strap match
Both teams agreed to wear the straps around the waist
It ended with the Hilltop Heavyweight splashing
Shine Cupid for the victory.

Big Basketball and Denzy Valintino
Provided the entertainment
In a fysta_fall submission match
Validation used a Doormens Clasp
To gain victory

World Champion
" Her Next Man" Oscar Hoowittiz
Faced
" The Grimmy Gritt"
Danny Bob Van Winkle

They grappled like amateurs
Until Grimmy started using
A lacker_side headlock
Which the World champion
Escaped with a side sulto 
Followed by a crushing leg drip
That allowed the champion
To attempt a pin
At 22:22 Grimmy sought
Offense following
A failed clothesline attempt
In the corner caught the Champ off track
And was able to follow up
With a duplex
A regular duplex made
Grammy
The World Champion
The fans started cheering
Grimmy he grabbed the
Microphone
And started saying
"Stop liking me"!

Oliver James

Oliver is the cox of the LTA mixed cox four team, 
And graduated from Warwick Uni in Philosophy, 
Where he started rowing at once in his first year, 
Soon to become the cox of lively rhythmic orality. 

After graduating, in his time in the summer holidays, 
Oliver decided to improve his coxing skill and voice, 
So he worked with different rowers and coaches, 
At Lancaster Uni and Southhampton Uni of choice. 

He then moved onto the hip Leander rowing club, 
Which is in Berkshire and stands olympic famous, 
And Paralympic famous, where he was coach paired, 
With Brian Armstrong and Chris Collerton ramose. 

Leander got him into the rich international scene, 
Where he raced with the Paralympic team as new,
And from that first row he’s never looked backwards  
As he’s collected a string of medals for his mouth, rue. 

In 2014 in Amsterdam, the Nethherlands, the Worlds, 
He secured his team a gold on the rippled waters, 
And 2015, Alguebelette, France, another World lung, 
He coxed his para-team to another gold as otters.

Then in Varese city, Italy, he won the team the gold,
 Also in 2015, and so Rio’s gold consequently came, 
Without surprise or shock in a time of 3.17.17 mins,
Just 1.26 secs short on WR, Lago Rodrigo lake fame.

Kris Kringle Kisses Kalliope

"Kris Kringle Kisses Kalliope"

A Dream: the 4th Christmas.





deck the halls 
with memories
poets whisper pasts
that are ne’er forgotten

where presents 
a life 
that’s neatly wrapped
and attempts at 

frostily forgotten 

tucked under
that big 
beautiful
green fir tree

where all the dreams
of poets go
gold starred, tinselled
and angel mounted 

ripe cherries 
kissed
crassly
under mistletoe

Ah Christmas 
capture me up
in your safe
magic arms

let me sip 
the nectar from 
your sweet eggnog cups
like Puck’s flower flows

on sultry lips
and eyelids
“love-in-idleness”
"The juice of it 

on sleeping eyelids laid
will make man 
or woman 
madly dote

upon the next 
live creature 
that it sees”
poet or pup

crimson berries crushed
against a velvet tongue
bedazzled and 
bewitched

fires crackling 
logs like legs
drop and wrap around
the flames

while in my dreams
I await beneath 
the sugar coated 
blankets of a bed

charmed by snowflakes
dusting houses in a row
through misted windows
where “paper people....

dream 
their cardboard dreams”

“how unreal 
the whole thing seems
can we be living in a world
that is made of paper mache?

Everything is clean 
and so neat
anything that is wrong
can be just swept away”

inside is very still...
not shaken 
like a snowglobe -
surreal 

damned be
the dams of
Love-in-Idleness 
where eyes reflect

your shadow 
in my dream
like opium smoke
across cracked glass

remember how we 
all once were 
some beautiful happy
if we could just pull the chord

so fresh out of ...
class

rewind our time 
rewind it 
to yesterday
like a toy

across the 
ocean bobbing 
like a buoy
an Iceberg keens and cries

Nutcracker twirls 
Sugarplum 
Kris Kringle Kisses 
Kalliope

Oberon...

reals 
Titania in 
Slo mo’ 

Magic

mmm
Romance

lacy 
frosty
melting
snow.

An iceberg cries
in time with 
Christmas eyes

That old top hat they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around"
