Premium Member A Promising Fellow

I once knew a fellow from Pensacola
Who drank liters of fizzy Coca-Cola 
He peed in the street
And on his bare feet
Now I think he is enrolled at Loyola.

Victoria, My Wife

Once there was a beauty by name Victoria alias Vitty
my wife,my Cinderella, my love, my good mate Vitty
"love till we wear"
"All for you dear"
bloody this Cinderella is no Loyola shop to pity!

Andrea Pozzo used the quadratura technique
but innovatively gave it a tweak
Creating a 3d space upon the flat
what do you think of that*

William Andleby

In his youth,
he was as Loyola,
a soldier, then he was converted
and became a priest.

He succored  and strengthen
the Catholic prisoners,
uplifting their faint bodies
with a new spirit of faith.

After 20 years’ labor,
he was arrested and condemned
for his priestly character,
for true faith

and led by his oppressors 
to martyrdom.
He was martyred
at York In 1597.

North of North's Shore

As I walk out past the sands of Loyola beach,
out to the lighthouse on the point,
I thank god for this small retreat, this recouping,
and reforming of my reckless life.
An unusually warm May wind
caresses my face and tickles a foreign smile
upon my lips.
I look at the vast cloudless sky
and seemingly endless waters
and begin to realize my purpose again,
my reason for being, myself,
and my happiness so long forgotten.

Premium Member A National Treasure

Sister Jean, a national treasure
    burst on the scene five years ago
  her Loyola Ramblers took the NCAAs by storm
    and Sister Jean's quiet life was transformed 

  Now it's five years later
    Loyola's going nowhere fast
  But our fascination with Jean
    has yet to pass ... 

  Interviewed last week at 103
    She'd heard of a gal age 114
  Faced her audience squarely and insisted
    "Now that's just too darn old to be!"

Premium Member Lou Gehrig's ease

We've heard of ALS
as "Lou Gehrig's disease"
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
a cause to pray on our knees

But Lou Gehrig felt he was
"the luckiest man on earth"*
the Yankees, and his wife
the main reasons for mirth

Thankful for his life
though with illness cut short**
at ease in his disease
what an awfully good sport


(* regarding his farewell speech at Yankee stadium
** like in the Principle and Foundation of St. Ignatius of Loyola!) :)
