October has rolled round again But I forgot to remember That National Poetry Day this year Was moved back to September. 　 So before I review the year so far Sorry this is technically late But then so are the Deathlist's hits Committee, you are doing great. 　 Fourteen hits? Three quarters in? And still three months to go Either you're bloody good at guessing Or you are really in the know. 　 A dozen blokes now bite the dust From Sallis down to Brady While Tyler-Moore will see no Dawn Will the next hit be a lady? 　 Yes those girls just laugh at you De Havilland and Betty White Blackman, Harper and the rest On female picks you're... awful... 　 Meantime, we've had some fun pools Where we can all have a punt With Poker and the Deathlist Cup And the ne'er-ending Scavenger Hunt. 　 And Radguy became the Midway Ghost And Shaun became just Sean But when Mugabe becomes Mubarak We won't miss him when he's gone. 　 So once again I've had a try To sum up 9 months by rhyme If the record isn't broken It really will be a crime. 　 So who else will go afore Christmas? Or Hogmanay I should say Will Herman take the long Wouk? Will Irish Byrne still be Gay? 　 Could the coveted fifteenth spot Be painted on a Domino? Or can Cuellar get a cellar Six foot under? I dunno! 　 Anyway, it's time to wrap Up this dreadful ditty And go and check my hit list On the Pool of Windy City!

Damn, I missed National Poetry Day. Think I can be excused, after all it's not often I have a personal tragedy to deal with. My ditty follows later.

Ok, so no bonuses. Toast, gcreptile and Rishcast gain from Cosgrave's death, giving Toast a commanding lead. But with near three months to go....

He's gone the Bush Junior route...it's all God and evil and scripture in his statement. In other words, high powered rifles with yuge magazines are still ok with him..
