Starting
Position,
Left arm under
His left armpit, hand
Pulls head down, roll right on
Back, chest on chest, near fall, pin.
His
Disguise,
Twisted lies,
Enabled him
To test the swine herd's
Loyalty, and assess
Situation at palace.
Your
Left hand
Pulled his neck
Down, crouching, your
Right hand grabbed back of
Left heel, pulled it forward,
Forcing him to fall backwards.

Starting
Position,
Move your left arm
Under his armpit
To pin his left arm to
Back, pull his right wrist to chest.
Time
For home,
Athena
Rouses his son:
'Ask Menelaus
For his help,' gifts given,
Helen interprets a sign.
You
Placed your
Weight on his
Left leg, swung right,
Chest on chest, your left
Arm under his knees, your
Right cradled around his neck.
Move
On knees
From side to
Front, keeping his
Left arm pinned to his
Back, flip him to the left,
Control holds working to pin.
Son
Sailed to
Ithaca
With Athena's
Winds, avoided an
Ambush planned by suitors,
Headed to the swine herd's farm.
In
Control,
You rocked his
Shoulders to mat
For pin, opponent
In shock, slow to stand up,
Coach raised your hand as winner.
From
Top, swing
To side, right
Elbow around
His neck, left behind
His right knee, head in side,
Pressure elbows together.
In
Locker
Room, slowly
Peeled off sweat soaked
Singlet, grabbed your towel,
Headed to showers where
Friendly faces looked the same.
With
Hands clasped,
Elbows locked,
Roll onto right
Elbow to your right
Shoulder, his back toward mat,
Hook his left leg with left leg.
Dogs
Wagged tails,
Swine herd ran,
Wept at return,
Telemachus asked
About mother, stranger,
Odysseus, kept disguise.
Framed

Downstairs showed
Wrestler on your
Singlet's name tape,
