Stop all the clocks, ode to Palarse

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone

W. H. Auden (abridged in honour of 17th March, 2013)

Stop all the clocks at 13:54, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the ref from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the scum and with muffled drum
Gus bring out the coffin, let the Palarse mourners come.

Let Seagulls circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on Sky the message "The Scum are Dead,"
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the remaining public Eagles,
Let the riot policemen insist they're not legal

He was my North Stand, my South Stand, my East and West Stand Brighton Boy,
My working week and my Sunday midday kick-off,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love for Sunday bloody Sunday, Spanish and Leo would last for ever: I was wrong.

The floodlights are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up Zaha and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the Murray and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
