And we have the person who has to send me a PM despite all the rules ... Rose, you get the booby booby prize.

Okay, new rule. Everybody who enters gets a copy of the mp3, which of course was going to happen anyhow.

I think I'll enter my contest.

Okay. Anybody who can't come up with his/her own, feel free to use the service here:

Ah, Jax, we have an early front-runner.


Also to Rose -- you were already in my bad books for not adding my contribution to your Walter de la Mare / bird poems thread the other night.


THE FOOL
Death touched me with his fleshless claw,
I was calm and unrebuffed,
And when the Blue Bird flew my way,
I tried to have it stuffed.

Percival Hale Coke, c1923

son of the brother of the husband of the sister of my mysterious gr-grfather, also published alongside Walter de la Mare in "Cynthia Asquith's Annual" 1947 and "The Windsor Magazine" 1932

Oh, and a huge prize to anyone who finds out what became of Percival Hale Coke.

I found a reference to him in a book I need to find. The scrap that googlebooks gives says:

"Another occasional teacher was Percival Hale Coke, a drawling, languid man with a monocle, who wore a pork-pie hat and was a local poet and man of letters. I was a pretty-looking boy and he"

and there it ends. Aaargh. Are my suspicions about Percival correct??
