Dr Dave won the poetry contest near-unanimously (I think somebody Swirskied him) and is the official Poet Laureate for Blazersedge for the 2007-08 campaign. Appropriately he sent in the following in response to the news both of his victory and that of the Blazers last night.
Help From Above
Somewhere up in the heavenly realms
In the mists of the great beyond
Where light is so bright ne'r a shadow's in sight
Rang a truth in the form of a song:
Let the last one be the first
Let favor to him belong
Let the poor say "I am rich"
Let the weak say "I am strong"
* * * * * * *
Out of the boundless celestial throne
Leapt a galloping warrior horse
And on it's back, in battle tack
An angel....on an earthward course
Make my mission sure and true
Let justice have it's way
For history is about to change
In the City of Roses today
From the great Cascades to the mighty shore
From Tenmile to Wagontire
A thundering, a shaking, a violent quaking
As angel and earth conspire
It's been long enough. We've seen your pain
Not a tear has fallen in vain
But don't call it luck, karma or fate
By design it has been ordained
With the pick of the litter - a word of advice:
Take advantage of what you've been given
Let wisdom be guide, with pride by her side
Any less, you will not be forgiven
* * * * * * *
Somewhere up in the heavenly realms
In the mists of the great beyond
A smile is gracing the face of a great king
From his mouth flows the words to a song:
Now the last has been made first
All is right in the great Northwest
The poor are rich: the weak are strong
It's been a long day....can I get some rest?
