Proudly he stands,
the centurion of stone,
alone in his battleground
where winds drape their
coolness against his
sun-baked smile unbreaking
as he defies the forces
opposing his decades of being,
dauntless in his pose,
he holds his thrusting sword
towards a ghostly foe....

IN MEMORY OF CENTURION 
GAIUS LUCIUS MANIUS 
PRIMUS PILUS FIRST COHORT
LEGIO VI VICTRIX
HE SPENT HIS PENSION
IN CISALPINE GAUL
WHERE HE RAN 
AN HONEST BROTHEL
HIS FUNERAL WAS GRACED 
BY A MURDER OF CROWS
AND GRIEVIOUS LAMENTATIONS
IN THE NAME OF FAIR ISHTAR
DAUGHTER OF SIN AND SHAMASH...

He walked across the water
passed by disciples’ boat
He did a fast for forty days
In regions quite remote
He cast out unclean spirits
And sent them into pigs
His words had the ability
To wither trees of figs
He saw the Holy Spirit
At the Jordan, when he bathed
But when he met centurion
He marveled at his faith...

The elders and priests now know what is true
Just as I heard the centurion say
“This truly was a Holy man we killed today"

In my room with its broken door
is a vast array of U3A nomenclature
Admitting ones age is a drag
A vast collection of antique SLR'S stands
Just needing the servicing of fandango light
Use it or lose it, the idiom goes

A coach trip awaits
were I could make a friend
to share my interests
like J'aime Francais
and Lloyds Park walks
almost being half a centurion Croydonite...
