The young and bold Sir Lancelot Had shunned the lady of Shalott And all the swooning maidens, dear. His heart belonged to Guinevere. And were she not to Arthur, wed, She'd have the heart-sick knight instead. But so it goes, such is the luck Of sad sir Lancelot du Lac. When first he came to Camelot The orphan knight, Sir Lancelot Did prove his worth to Arthur's Court In jousting, and such noble sport And with his charm and courtly grace, His confidence and handsome face, He won the heart of Guinevere, And so he found his heart's one fear. But so it goes, such is the luck Of sad Sir Lancelot du Lac. In tournaments and deeds of arms, He never fell to earthly harms. His Lady's scarf about his breast, He held aloft his knightly chest And for her honor always strove, And worshiped her with courtly love. But she is wed, such is the luck Of sad Sir Lancelot du Lac. Beneath a tree, the young knight slept And one day, four queens on him crept, The chief of them, Morgan Le Fay. With magic, they stole him away. A choice they begged of him to make, That one of them his heart should take. But love is strong. They had no luck In tempting Lancelot du Lac. When Melegans stole Guinevere A cart, Sir Lancelot did steer To reach the hold where she was kept, Then toward the treacherous knight he leapt. He bested him with slash and blow, But to Sir Lancelot's great woe His Lady simply laughed in jest And saw no honor in his quest, For he arrived upon a cart. Thus, broken was the young knight's heart, And in a rage he left the place. He longed just for his Lady's grace. But so it goes, such is the luck Of sad Sir Lancelot du Lac. The young and bold Sir Lancelot Had shunned the lady of Shalott And all the swooning maidens, dear. His heart belonged to Guinevere. And were she not to Arthur, wed, She'd have the heart-sick knight instead. But so it goes, such is the luck Of sad Sir Lancelot du Lac. So when he quested for the Grail He made a promise he would fail. He said he'd not love Guinevere, But as he spoke, he shed a tear. He knew one day their love would end The table round, and hurt their friends. So when this promise he did break The land of Camelot did quake. For Agrivan, King Arthur, told His wife did love Lancelot bold And Arthur sent her to the pyre To end her sinful love, in fire. But Lancelot, his queen, did save And Arthur fell into the grave And all the knights of Table Round Were torn apart, could not be bound. And thus the fall of Camelot Was caused by one Sir Lancelot. But so it goes, such is the luck Of bold Sir Lancelot du Lac.

Sitting round the barbecue there's Paddy, Jeff and me Mary is on Paddy's right as happy as can be Kath is sitting next to Jon while Chrissy chats with Fay Paddy passes round the brew on an orange, plastic tray Someone grabs a guitar and begins a happy song No one knows the melody but still we sing along Over comes old Lucifer his hooves are keeping time Three hot dogs on his pitch fork (and one of them is mine) "I hate to break this up" he says "the boss is on his way And if we don't pass muster then there will be Hell to pay So put away that beer my friends and hide that barbecue Now everyone look miserable and maybe we'll get through". A golden light came shining in as Jesus crossed the room Paddy swung a pick ax and I swept with a broom And Lucifer he cursed at us and cracked an evil whip And then a half gone Fosters went and fell from Paddy's hip. You could have heard a pin drop as that bottle hit the floor Lucifer just shook his head he knew what was in store But Jesus Christ he grabbed that brew and gave a wicked smile "For an ice cold pint of Fosters I would walk a country mile" So the joint again was rockin’ And Jesus lead the way He said “if it were up to me I think that I would stay” Then he downed another bottle And he said ‘oh by the way, My dad would not be cool with this so hold your tongues, ok?" We never let the secret slip and all is right and well And if you’d like to join us at this barbecue in Hell Then we have a simple rule you see, that everyone abides You can come and go eternally but religion stays outside.

Boot, saddle, to horse, and away! Rescue my Castle, before the hot day Brightens the blue from its silvery grey, (Chorus) “Boot, saddle, to horse, and away!” Ride past the suburbs, asleep as you’d say; Many’s the friend there, will listen and pray “God’s luck to gallants that strike up the lay, (Chorus) “Boot, saddle, to horse, and away!” Forty miles off, like a roebuck at bay, Flouts Castle Brancepeth the Roundheads array: Who laughs, Good fellows ere this, by my fay, (Chorus) “Boot, saddle, to horse, and away!” Who? My wife Gertrude; that, honest and gay, Laughs when you talk of surrendering, “Nay! I’ve better counsellors; what counsel they?” (Chorus) “Boot, saddle, to horse, and away!”

Boot And Saddle
Away, ye muses, all away! Away with songs of finch and fay. Away the jaundiced sight That magnifies the firefly’s light To bonfire bright; That sets ablaze at once My musing’s dimly burning lamps; That ornaments with rhymes The penury-stricken looks betimes; That over-clothes the logic – lord With fancy –swollen words. Away, the partial love That ‘boldens Nature to sit above Her Maker! This day I fasten eyelid doors, With absence wax my ears, With languorous peace congeal My tongue, my touch, my tears * That I within may pore Upon the things behind, ahead, In the darkness round me spread. I lock Dame Nature out With all her fickle rout. Somewhere here, In the darkness drear, I myself with cheer My course will steer In the path E’er sought by all: Its magnet call I hear. Not hear, not here, Apollo would his burning chariot steer; Nor Diana dare to peep Into the sacred silence deep. Not here, not here, Not far or near Can mounts or rebel waves E’er make me full of fear; Nor evermore Their dreadful grandeur to adore. Not here, not here The soft capricious wiles of flowers; Nor swarming storm clouds’ sweeping terror, Dishevelling the trees And light-haired skies; Nor doomsday’s thunderous roar, Dismantling earth and stars- The cosmic beauties all to mar – Not Nature’s murderous mutiny, Nor man’s exploding destiny Can touch me here. Not here, not here: Through mind’s strong iron bars, Not gods or goblins, men or nature, Without my pass dare enter. I look behind, ahead – On naught but darkness tread. In wrath I strike, and set the dark ablaze With the immortal spark of thought, By friction-process brought Of concentration And distraction. The darkness burns With a million tongues; And now I spy All past, all distant things, as nigh. I smile serene As I expose to gaze. In wisdom’s brilliant blaze, All charms of the Hidden Home Unseen: The Home of Nature’s birth, The planets’ moulding hearth, The factory whence all forms or fairies start, The bards, colossal minds, and hearts, The gods and all, And all, and all! Away, away With all the lightsome lays! Oh, now will I portray In humble way, And try to lisp, if only in half truths, Of wordless charms of Thee Unseen, To whom Dame Nature owes her nature and her sheen.

Fay stood next to Baruch in the Square have a ride if you like on my new blue scooter he had said so she did with one foot placed firm on the scooter the other pushed away the hard ground moving on the scooter hands gripping the rubber handle bars and she sensed air in her face and hair moving fast Baruch left behind her in the Square he thinking how happy now she was moving on over ground other kids shouting out faster Fay and she did as if all pent up fears had gone bang and had then disappeared get off that Jew's scooter her father shouted out and she turned and the fears all returned she got off the scooter handed it to Baruch all joy gone happiness had dissolved her father gripped her hand hauled her off looking back at Baruch hatefully but Baruch merely smiled his contempt his green eyes or hazel as some said shooting off those arrows pretendingly in the **** of Fay's strict catholic father but to Fay he blew to her from his palm the unseen pink kisses of concern then she'd gone up the stairs to her fate a lecture against Jews murderers of Jesus he will say or worst still punishment a beating to enforce his strict will.

HIS STRICT WILL.
her words formed colored dust on butterfly wings collecting photographs of green ivy hearts in the wildwood, delicate valley flowers circling her hair like verses of hope dappled yellows, forest greens, daydreams and cream she found a path in the forest balancing on the breath of nature silver rings like lace intertwined with reflections of grace her own cordial way of handing out smiles with every hello, slight twirl of her skirt, I walk past shelves of stories golden binding each classic manuscript echoing her name we float down vintage corridors like rivers dancing to the tune of a fiddle breathing in deep breaths of autumn winds beneath the willow canopy sky she found a path in the forest and the reason to fly.

Priti Patel's quote on EU migration - whatever it was... list of common surnames: cropper, cross, crouch, dabney, dalton, daniels, eads, easton, eccleston, fairclough, farnham, fay, gardner, garey, garfield, haight, hanes, hailey, ibbott, irvin, isaacson, jack, jackson, jacobs, kay, keen, kelsey, lacey, lacy, lamar, macey, mann, marchand, neal, nelson, neville... sure pati japati patel - i'll be an albino in Gujarat if your play the sitar in a sari; but your name sounds a bit migrant revealing, what a weird 'back of the bus' you seem to stand on - you want the Mongolians resurrected? i swear we were being ousted in line of what Queen Sheba said to Solomon: 'olive skinned throughout the geography and the unwelcome green men on sponged-knickers creaming for an ****** a french dessert...' yes pretty prior, you found home on a continent when half of the european nations didn't practice colonial antics - i guess it's easier to pick on them. but with a Patel surname you sound british already, the great experiment worked the anaesthetic of former colonialism numbed via recreational Ketamine use really numbed the skull and jaw mandibles - i hate, i hate being conscripted into post-colonial affairs of "why it all failed" what a waste of the urban hubs of Manchester or Liverpool - where once artistic expression thrived - i hate these post-colonial societies, it's as if they were castrated en masse, and they're wondering why no one has a permanent suntan in scandinavia - maybe the raw herring diet - cinnamon up your *** magician's trick with space between fudge of digestion, disappearing trick but then the cough that blinds you sweetly - i guess post-colonial nationalism wanted to listen to non-colonial nationalism - a former migrant like pretty plated smell olive skinned exploited inversion of angers but dunked a footstep into a trip-up with non-colonial nations - a bit like the greek bail-out - pretty patel is a name least likely associated with migration; you teasing the beast out?

Fay was waiting for me at the top of Meadow Row I was on my way home from school -I'd walked home as I’d spent my fare money on doughnuts that morning- she looked agitated her blonde hair was in two ponytails her eyes looked red as if she'd been crying thought I’d missed your bus she said no I walked I said what's up? she took my hand and we walked down Meadow Row walking past the bomb sites and the ruins of other houses   I’ve lost my rosary she said I can't find it what's a rosary? I asked a crucifix with beads I showed you the other week O that bead thing so what's the problem? can't you buy another? it was my grandmother's old one well buy her another one I said I can't she died last year well she won't need it then will she I said she stopped but Daddy will want to know why I lost it and then he'll go off the deep end   and I know he'll punish me and it wasn't my fault she began to cry and I didn't know what to say or do where do you keep it? I asked in my coat pocket so it's handy if I want to use it and it's not there now? she shook her head and put her hand in the pocket of her coat is that the coat you always wear? she nodded what about Sundays? she looked at me today's Monday maybe you left it in your coat you wear on Sundays I said she looked at me with reddened eyes of course I forgot it must be in my Sunday coat from yesterday let's go find out I said but what if Daddy's there? so what? I said he doesn't like me being with you because you're not a Catholic I’ll wait outside on the balcony if he is I said so we walked up Meadow row and crossed over Rockingham Street and up the slope and into the Square and along to the flats and up the concrete staircase to her parent's flat which was above where I lived she knocked and her mother let her in and I stood on the balcony looking into the Square after 5 minutes or so she opened the door smiling and said it was in my Sunday coat all the time and she kissed my cheek I knew then I’d not wash that area of my face the whole week.

Happy day, Maddie Fay
Dear Poet Friends, this short poem was composed during the Summer of 2010, and posted on ‘Poemhunter.com’. Hope you like it. Thanks. WHEN YOU CATCH THAT FEVER! When the body temperature exceeds the normal, You know you have got the fever on you. High fever can get you in a delirium, And even inside the ICU! One must guard oneself from the Summer’s sun, Take precaution from exhaustion and heat. Wear dark glasses and use a parasol, And sun-tan lotion makes the picture complete. ‘Prevention is half the cure’, is an old saying which is true! With cool butter milk and iced lemonades, - You can keep that heat off you! Now there is another type of fever, more potent than that ‘Swine Flu’! It can strike you anywhere and anytime, And you cannot take adequate precautions too! When your heart starts to beat faster, - And a fever rages all inside. You get melancholic and delirious, - When someone calls the doctor by your bedside! But when no temperature gets recorded, And the doctor looks all concerned! For you have caught the 'Love’s Fever', - Oh, what a lovely way to burn!                                      -Raj Nandy, New Delhi (Comments from Fay Slims, a senior & a veteran poet from Cornwall, SW England:-  “Raj, catching that fever is never avoided by those who have given their heart!”)

WHEN YOU CATCH THAT FEVER!
Flames touching the sky Ashes forming endless smoky deserts Haters are meant to hate and cry Beware of this fire Or else you'll burn your feathers Sealed lips yet so much to say Hearts filled with feelings and fear Everyone here wishes to have a fay Beware of these liars As their hearts for you are not Crystal clear

Beware Of Humans
And in a pickle i find myself hard pressed to not attempt to impress this one. She seeks it like a lost pack of cigarettes. It is in her eyes, and it is in her hair. its in her shoulders and its in the way she points her **** She wouldn't say it in any other way than with the heavy gin soaked breath, faintly and subtly in-between huffs and sighs. She wanted the colour of her words to match the red of her cheeks. She told me that she had heels cause of me, and i denied that i had anything to do with it. The way she spoke reminded me of Daisy Fay.

At the back of the coal wharf you and Fay picked up coal pieces that fell through the iron railings and put them in an old bag from home Fay looked at her blackened fingers and said if my daddy sees these fingers and finds out what I’ve been doing he’ll spank me for sure you gazed at her beside you and said you can wash your hands at my place she looked around at the bombsite behind you the evening sun slowly going down behind the railway bridge and nearby buildings what if someone sees you she asked picking up these pieces? no one worries about this all the kids do it you replied my daddy says it is evil to steal she said you put a black piece of coal in the bag and lifted it to feel the weight that’s enough you said too much and I won’t be able to carry it Fay stood up and looked around at the darkening sky you held the bag in one hand and scanned the area around you let’s go you said and so you both walked away from the coal wharf into Meadow Row by the public house where piano music played and down towards the flats where you lived and after climbing the concrete stairs to your landing you opened the door and put the bag by the indoor coal bunker and showed Fay where to wash her hands turning on the cold water tap you both washed your hands with the red Life Buoy soap her hands near yours her wet flesh touching yours the black water running away and another adventure and another day.

"How beautiful are your tents, O Jacob, Your dwelling places, O Israel!" Thy children gather, telescoping generations, O Jacob, what do thine eyes ascertain. what history do they memorize? Coalescing younger star clusters, disparate related families uniting, embedding as a single unity, a star cloud, shedding a new light, the astronomers awed, witnesses, a super-star cluster birthed. The beauty of thy tents, thy wealth, O Jacob, is their multiplicity, their construct and content. The web of thy tissue, bindings, linkages, what resides within thy tents, acknowledge, testify, that the strength of thy issue, are the Matriarchs, managers of thy destiny, mothers of thy dynasty, The Sarah's, Leah's, the Rachel's, the Fay's, the Ginger's, the Miriam's these jewels bedeck, beautify, brides and bridles of thy tents, master mistresses of thy dwellings, without them, O Jacob, you, but, just, another desert tribe.

How beautiful are your tents, O Jacob, Your dwelling places, O Israel!
Push into my concave Ripple off your hollow skull Never met a fond slave Lookin through a swallow hull File down for plaster Skinning clean your mended bone Bringin down the rafters Furnace of a heavy home Call a little blow away to rock yourself to sleep Soil over forty fay and sow just what you reap **** the seed of prosper Four entangled righteous **** More than you could foster Still, you might be over hill Sonny won't you crawl away to somewhen I've not found Crankin down the bank shaft cause its rollin rollin round Caught another big one in a dental floss noose Sell em to the butcher maybe he can get some use

I look at her self? I say what do you mean? the I of us what we call me I look nonplus and look down for more small stones a nun at school said the I in Christianity means the I crossed out in the form of a cross in other words our self is not more important than that I or self of another and as a Christian we should put the self of another first I find a small stone and pick it up and finger it so the cross is supposed to show self crossed out? I say uncertainly she looks at the stone I'm holding yes that's what she was saying self denial I think is what she meant Fay says scratching her head this nun at school does she ever tell jokes? Fay frowns no not as far as I've heard well I could tell you one O'Brien told me but it's not for girls to hear not girls as good as you I say Daddy says jokes are sinful to say and to hear Fay says when I innocently told him one the other year a girl at school told me he spanked me and said never to hear or say jokes ever again what was the joke?

"WHAT'S this?" I pondered. "Have I slept? Or can I have been drinking?" But soon a gentler feeling crept Upon me, and I sat and wept An hour or so, like winking. "No need for Bones to hurry so!" I sobbed. "In fact, I doubt If it was worth his while to go - And who is Tibbs, I'd like to know, To make such work about? "If Tibbs is anything like me, It's POSSIBLE," I said, "He won't be over-pleased to be Dropped in upon at half-past three, After he's snug in bed. "And if Bones plagues him anyhow - Squeaking and all the rest of it, As he was doing here just now - I prophesy there'll be a row, And Tibbs will have the best of it!" Then, as my tears could never bring The friendly Phantom back, It seemed to me the proper thing To mix another glass, and sing The following Coronach. 'AND ART THOU GONE, BELOVED GHOST? BEST OF FAMILIARS! NAY THEN, FAREWELL, MY DUCKLING ROAST, FAREWELL, FAREWELL, MY TEA AND TOAST, MY MEERSCHAUM AND CIGARS! THE HUES OF LIFE ARE DULL AND GRAY, THE SWEETS OF LIFE INSIPID, WHEN thou, MY CHARMER, ART AWAY - OLD BRICK, OR RATHER, LET ME SAY, OLD PARALLELEPIPED!' Instead of singing Verse the Third, I ceased - abruptly, rather: But, after such a splendid word I felt that it would be absurd To try it any farther. So with a yawn I went my way To seek the welcome downy, And slept, and dreamed till break of day Of Poltergeist and Fetch and Fay And Leprechaun and Brownie! For year I've not been visited By any kind of Sprite; Yet still they echo in my head, Those parting words, so kindly said, "Old Turnip-top, good-night!"

Today is a Fay to crow about, it's a crowable sort of day, For the crows have frightened the scarecrow, and the scarecrow is running away.

Today is a day to crow about
You are a fox, she said. I looked down and saw that indeed, I was. Your hair is pretty and red, she said. I looked behind me and noticed that indeed The red from my hair was dripping down my bare back And sliding down my shoulders and forming Pools of vivid red beside us. Suddenly everyone wanted to touch my hair But I began to cry and said stop. Fay found a frog. It was green and bumpy and shined rainbow in the sun. It was actually a toad. I cried because I thought it might die And if it died the world would most definitely be over. I held it and I felt its heart beating in my hands And I thought there could never be a more beautiful precious thing Ever In the entire world Again. The heart was beating louder and faster and I couldn’t take it Until I began to cry again. Fay came and the frog disappeared. My heart felt heavy. My mind went “Hm.” It went “What should I do now?” I should eat a cherry, I guess. So I did. I ate a cherry. I didn’t feel satisfied, so I ate another. Meanwhile Melinda, My golden haired friend, and I couldn’t talk because of my purple shirt. She said, I can’t talk to you while you are wearing that purple shirt. And I said, Do you want me to take it off then? And she said, You look like a grape. And when I laughed I couldn’t stop and I couldn’t stop stop stop until I was crying again with my head in my hands. Then my heart felt heavy again so I went outside and looked at some trees. The sun was hot and my arms were getting tired. But I wanted to get burned. At nightfall I went upstairs and looked in the mirror. Makeup dripped down my face and I wanted it off. I began to scrub.

Afternoon Tea Party
Dark curtains struggle against our difference but she loves a sense of justice that never sleeps caught out of the light when now I glimpse her face sending me tearing shadows down in disbelief I see her dancing nights away in moonshine rays intoxicated by a love that beckons then slips past me how much I long to kiss better that shimmering fay but elusive to my calls embrace a fleeting tricky sky Hope gathers up her trail in the pure instincts of desire again and again my seeking hands caress a fragment the search faltering sadly at her twinkling dressed figure sure only that my lips could starry press together fate Then we met standing under a bridge's forgiving side on a bend with the wind splashing a hot moon over fusing sought and lashed to hug her pools of eyes I dry them and replenish.. oh.. how cool is our love

When Love Plays Hide & Seek
My heart in form of a dimminished sword all rusted throu and pitted with age, found entrenched within an anvil upon a stone. Lonely eons pass me by, awaiting for fair damsels touch from far away fay Avalon.   I sense a presence both near and far, it sets my iron core pulsing deep and strong, to feel life stiring within me once more. Her touch is all it takes to awaken fully the restored magic and more, to set my heart a gleamming to see me free to be held close. We quest togeather to slay foul beasts, and right great wrongs of injustice done across the land. To make togeather an epic poem that sings true for generations to come. The stuff that legends become.
