Consolatio, Shiloh !
Sunni Saudi Arabia
loather of Iran re Shia.
Object we may, go via.

Mission Impossible
for The IDF
Can Israel move Istanbul
back to being Byzantium ?
and thus, avenge the massacre
in our Hagia Sophia
fallen with Constantinople,
blood spilt from the congregation
running over the floor marble.
For The West, a vast bastion
greater than any nation ;
held, for Rome Fallen, salvation.
nb written pre Glastonbury chant
End Game Cant
Something to do with a Siege Gun,
betrayal by the Venetian.
There was partial redemption,
at The Battle of Lepanto
with slave galley water polo.
In Ireland, Yeats banged a gong
by forging perpetual song,
and noble dolphins came along.
Ever since, that terrible rant.
In Yeats Byzantium, great chant.

The Daft Annoying
Instead of the legislating
cover-up, better draft starving
the problems at the beginning.
Give them a hymnal, some free Gym.
The land fearful to criticise
is feather-bedding the unwise.
Without a lecturing, the slow
have no provident way to go.
Pensee' Libre
Under no circumstance at all
are The Prime Minister, Whitehall
telling me what to think ; recall.
They, wax, have no plan overall
to save Albion from the crawl
to Doom, funeral ruins' pall.
They go stuttering in the stall,
the commander not in The Hall.
There is no peace in being small,
draft Plans left in a lost hold-all.
What can I add this morning ?
There will be too much mourning.
Fitzjohns NW3 (Sonnet)
So gleam, beautifully burnished,
but are the residents furnished
with intellect, and good manners
or dwell gargantuan scammers ?
Have they any conversation
or mere lippy palpitation ?
What, read on the elevation ?
Chair she sat in, like a burnished..
Just a money habitation
the women past salivation.
They ache play marbles, on marble
pretending they are living well.
Have they lost any ? There is no
west garden terrace patio !

Couplets 3 am June 18
Israel News Flash
Mastery of the air over
Tehran. Sounds nearly Berlin.
Coup HG
The buses have to run on time.
Governing, oh minutiae !
Such A Traitor
he even betrayed his parents.
He will join others on trial.
Commander
They, exigent in the abstract
the men preparing to attack.
After Hemingway
Shall we have another coffee ?
every word light as a leaf.
Dust Is Rising
from the columns on the dry road.
Thirsty, the mule in the mountains.
==========================
Coup Rule 2
A minority, over-breeding
made subject to a forbidding
limit, to be our sanity.
Certificate To Breed
From proof of work patriotism,
a singing of Jerusalem
per Parry, and The Nicene Creed.
Job Ad (Camden Town Hall)
A thorough knowledge of T.S.
Eliot, vital for success.
Many are looking for redress.
June 19th
==========================
Bank Protection Tax (Sonnet)
A major private deposit
of cash is an obscenity,
loved by the vulgar bourgeoisie.
They honk, rub their hands with glee
above a protruding stomach.
They lash out at a stinging bee.
They could pay tax to get cash back,
help pay for our protecting flak,
feed our Iron Dome a titbit.
Readers of the Daily Mail
relish the firm exuding tit,
and an orgasm without fail.
They fornicate, for my couplet
and the vital golden droplet.
Fitzjohns NW3 (2)
Did The Architect go and see
the Isokon modernity ?
Streamliner, never bland.
Or Stanbury Court, oddly grand.
A disruption to well-being.
Summer 1940
The Germans had co-ordination.
The French did not, lost a Nation.
Vichy had a brief salvation.
We flew The Hawker Hurricane ;
this, the last line of my quatrain.
Albion had no end to pain,
the worst, Singapore down the drain
wanting water, blown by Japan.
We had mass aircraft production.

Temporary Political Note de Jour
The near 50 per cent increase in illegal
beaching immigrants, since Labour
came to power, is a Resignation Issue,
coupled with the total failure to slash
the soaring Benefits Bill ; Labour, as
ever, is living in cloud-cuckoo land.
Advice from Home Guard (1940)
to the PM. Threaten to machine-gun
the invaders on the beaches, to a man.
This will certainly stop them coming.

nb do the French have any machine-
guns yet ? Camden is crawling with
vermin. We want them all deported
pronto to British Liberia. Copy
nb My prior Johannesburg-based (maternal) Grand
father, The Honourable Brigadier Ralph Stokes C.B.E
O.B.E D.S.O. M.C. was, with General Ironside, co-
founder of The Home Guard c. June 1940. He ran X
Division, from The X Files. Every concrete pillbox
in Albion is a monument to him. My position is, in
a way, hereditary. The job is to repel all invaders...
in Park Town, Ralph was known as 'The Brig'. This
an excerpt from November Joan, a work in progress.
