Inquests into the death of Princess Diana continue today. The website below records, word for word, the questions being presented and the answers of those indited...
Although, nothing could ever breathe life back into the Princess, I know some Yeoman knows...maybe it will finally plumb from the eyes of the two Portland stone Yeo's, which stand outside the Queens Guard Chamber at Hampton Court Palace!???

Poem Artwork

Lo, mettle bones of Yeoman might
whensoever ole’ Spencer had his "Appetite"
Duly inclined with bowes of yew
what Marsham untied in his "All Night" rue. . .

Alas, now Tudor, began his reign
assigning his Yeo’s to protect the same...
Guard or Usher, Crown...of the Black Rod
Chamber. . . of the Mouth, Marshall of the hall’s. . .
"God!"

With repelling force and shields of style
at Bosworth’s Battle, so flew, their "pecocke arrowes"
whereas, they arose now standing
rightly paid, "Esquire"

The piperolls ‘nounced on Ambion Hill
King Richard III, here, those future Yeo’s killed!
Tables now set, for the new King with the meat
Yea, all Yeoman’s invited to consume his beef!

Stately dresse in their scarlet robes
"a gown" was gifted, so worthy, those
carrying their halberd’s, hooked
with the beaks of crows

They’ve marched on through, since a thousand years
to the beating sounds, to the Corps of Drums
To the Tower of London
. . . they still deliver her rum!

Six black ravens
myth'd on ledges, sing
as the Raven Master clips their flying wings
securing a monarch of their prevailing Queens

Home of the souls, sheltered beneath White Hill
Spirit-carved, Cote of Arms on the prison walls
Captives beheaded with young Lady Jane
(A convening fit, for her nine day reign)

Searching for the block, through her blinded eyes
Young Jane cries, now and again, with their Princess Di
"Lord, unto you, I commit my Spirit"
and the Yeoman, wills stilled, justly just, grin and bear it!

This sums it up. Yet, the questions remains unanswered.

They chopped their heads then...now they do it with cars.
Where that white car paint smear on the side of the Mercedes came from?
Nice kind of baroque one.

There are winds which carry secrets of the mystery passed before the eyes of the world, your thoughts enshrine the Destiny of one who touched more than life...she literally engulfed us and became the very image of who we wish to be...

Your last lines "shiver me timbers". Shakespear said (and I'll misspell it for sure) "The proud man's contumely" --so apt. So wrong! On another note, there was a death in my family about the time of Princess Di's passing. I always thought he went up with good company--and the whole world was in sorrow, because as you may recall, Mother Theresa died about the same time. In a way it brought me comfort--was good to know that I wasn't the only one going through so much sorrow--kept things in perspective. All suffer. --Charlie

Perhaps there will be a coalition of beefeaters someday to get to the bottom of this Kimmy friend. Your research, in this superb write, is evident and appreciated. You are a unique and clarion voice with clear and undiluted ability. Blessings and love ...

One could write books stimulated by this composition... "The Yeoman’s Shall"
sings in great rhythm with art and grace. The subjects dealt were treated properly, and a magificent historic story-poem is accomplished.

My gratitude and reverent admiration,
