List Adjustments

A Poem by Donald Meikle

Jason grab the fleece
Set it squarely under there
While Murray tightens the girth
Madge how many tries does it take to put on a bridle?
I don�t care if the nose armor�s low
So long as it�s straight
Where is Jacques with that damned chain
How are we ever going to be ready by nine
They�re carrying him in now ?
Streuth! The tail wrap�s slipped
Elmwood you�d better pray
he can�t see through that new visor
That saddle horn is duller than Clyde mud
Where is David with the shield grease?
What�s wrong with you people?
The tourney�s about to begin
and Gods Hammer we�re third in the grovel line
Again!!
Who has the lance duty today?
Shards and Sweetness Victor
What have you been feeding this steed?

Beautiful, great characterisation, you filmically capture a very transient moment. You able to show the people and their intriguing relationships with each other and the subject.

This is wonderful and very whimsical.

To interpret this poem was quite difficult for me, what I know - it is a moment of your time, from your past. What I liked about it is its 'naturalistic' performance and refreshing monologue. Thanks for explaining me in PM, now I see it clearer. Always great writing.
