Chapter 1
Nineteen Thirty Seven

By Bicpen

P.13/36 was a required design

a medium bomber twin engine whine

P.13/36 changed its face now B.12/36

a heavy bomber four engine whine

Serial No. 308 carried Block Busters

Incendiaries Tallboys Grand Slam Earthquakes

Barne Wallis was their creator of mind

Its most famous sorties were Operation Chastise

a splendid job bringing Squadron 617 alive

all thanks to Rolls Royce and the proven choice

Avro delivered anti-submarine photo reconnaissance

aerial mapping and aerial refuelling at a snapshot

In 1941 L7257’s test pilot H.A. “Sam” Brown

brought four merlin engines singing around

It was Type 683 Manchester III

"... The Lancaster Bomber ..."

to you and to me

Chapter 2
The Pomme de tere

By Bicpen

The 25th. is coming

my stomach's a'churning

my headache is spinning me all around

with presents to wrap and cards to buy

there’s a busy little bustle everywhere

I quickly need a stick of dynamite

to blow these elves and reindeer alike

Now I have a turkey to stuff

I’d like it to be the Pomme de Tere

a humble apple of the earth

bury this day and make it 364

For one day I’m ne’er so dismayed

another fifty-two weeks to endure

all for a child it makes me wild

I hope someone curses this mess

The anticipation is killing me

I’ll wear my secret Santa jumper

wich only has one thing to say

You all know I’d love to shout

just really belt it all out

"... I HATE CHRISTMAS … "

Chapter 3
White Christmas

By Bicpen

This time of year it’s a turkey

an NCA’s seasonal surprise

fat plump white with all its feathers plucked

all the chefs basted with a weight a' plenty

A Caribbean treat with all of the trimmings

a European spread when its served

its cost a whopping ninety-six million

Right now the turkey’s come home to roost

a home grown twenty-nine year old

Mr X’s Julian Chisolm’s prodigy

a fellow Highland partner in crime

Just one more living on the dark side

all they need is a reason a plot

when its cooked they all get caught

it’s a drug baron's fee a guilty plea

all found in Santa's sack

Another student

top of the class

"... just another white Christmas ..."

with cocaine

and the criac

Chapter 4
Precious Light

By Bicpen

She works down on the corner

light shines in her door

each scent enlightens her as she breathes

Her white jars brim stoking relief

each specifically charmed bringing grace

her soy wax melts destined for thirty hours

bringing joy to a darkened door

Her handiwork sets a room’s mood ablaze

all her commodity is ready for sale

her soul delights in a precious light

Her name is Sandwick Bay Candles Store

we all enjoy her flames bouquet

soon all the lights will be dim

leaving nothing but a slow decay

"... I’m dreaming of a delightful wick ..."

best be on time

she opens at nine

Chapter 5
Curious Desires

By Bicpen

A town’s heart beats

serving an artery fine

at 59 – 61 Cromwell street

Its parlour provides a paradigm

an eclectic mix a mass of collection

a delicatessen forgotten by time

Individually designed hampers

including a bottle of wine

curious sandwich boxes

in a continental flavour

meat rubs cooking sauces

all your favourite

enhancing ingredients

Spend a little time

looking around

its prices are fair

its quality atoning

all the globe’s delicacies

everything you desire

in the shop of needful things

Quench your curiosities thirst

8.30 am every weekday morning

serving the cheapest coffee in town

purchase on request

buy an item unique

“… welcome …”

The Good Food

Boutique

Chapter 6
Censorship

By Bicpen

To a media

of mediocrity

a whisper of truth

in a cry of despair

With a pen

we determine oneself

displaying

a written testimony

a foundation

We are not afraid

with our freedom of speech

to challenge an authoritarian

totalitarian censorship

Its living twisted distorted excerpts

another point of view

never reporting truth

a doctored line

a rewritten confession

a forced format

of corruption and lies

retelling the history of our lives

A dormant perspective

of confused minds

Here’s to burning papers

of abysmal prose

Here’s to burning

the line of their rhyme

“… this is the justice

of a blank sheet …”

Just killing time

Chapter 7
Equal with God

By Bicpen

"... in a confused mind of a lonely Priest

he takes away a respected nativity scene

placing Adam and Steve in its frame

Our silent night becomes a homosexual dream

little King Jesus was born to Mary and Joseph

not a gender equality thought obscene

No bells to announce our unholy heavenly joy

thankfully our baby child was unaware

claiming Prince of Peace to a sinful world

a gracious example of God’s right hand

while here on earth we’re left to confusion

given over to a scientific reconstruction

So our year closes hailing peace and good will

all based on gender recognition

all hail Satan’s disguise Santa’s surprise

over tones of Sodom and Gomorrah’s destruction

debased theology of an unforgiven apprehension

originates a festive immaculate deception ... "
