Book Three

On

Bottom,

Slide feet from

Opponent, raise

Right foot, use right hand

To grab his right hand, pull

Up while pushing back to stand.



Coached

To catch

God asleep,

Menelaus

Held on through shape shifts,

Proteus answered how

To set sail, fates of others.



Coach

Whistled,

Partner bowed,

Head, hands on mat,

You grabbed his ankles,

Pulled out, up, supported

Legs for push-ups, t-shirt dropped.



On

Bottom,

Raise right hand,

Grab opponent's 

Right hand, thrust legs out,

Sit, roll left on left knee 

To right knee, head facing him.



Made

Aware

By Noemon,

Antinous planned

Surprise attack on 

Telemachus' return,

Penelope wept at news.



Drill

Partner

Positions

Switched, first practice

Ended with sit-ups,

Sweaty teammates headed

To lockers, stripped for showers.



On

Bottom,

Slide feet from 

Opponent, hold

His right hand, raise right 

Leg to toes, push into 

Him until seated on him.



Zeus

Heard out

Athena,

Hermes sent to

Calypso: release

Odysseus on raft

He'd make; wine, food, clothes supplied.



Your

Partner's 

Familiar 

Head, neck, tackled 

Legs below his butt,

Hand which wrapped lathered his 

Chest, you avoided his eyes.



On

Bottom,

Cross right hand 

With left on mat,

Twist right, spread legs, sit,

Move right hand to grab his 

Left leg, right knee down, left raised.



Tools 

Supplied,

Raft crafted,

Odysseus 

Set sail by stars, land

Glimpsed, Poseidon spotted 

Him, caused waves, winds: capsized raft.



Some

Boys lined

Up at scale 

Straight from showers,

Towels dropped on nearby 

Benches, registered the

Post workout beam pronouncement.



On

Bottom,

Slide feet from 

Opponent, grab

His right hand, pull it

Off, raise right leg to toes,

Twist right, seated, feet on mat.



Climbed

Back on

Raft, Ino

Advised: strip; swim

To Phaeacia; tie

Scarf around chest; when raft

Smashed, Odysseus dove in.



Coach-

Bottom-

Grabbed your hand,

Rolled you over

His back until you 

Landed on yours, hand reached 

Between your legs for right leg.



On

Bottom,

Grab hand on

Waist, tighten hold,

Raise left knee, lean right,

Roll him across your back 

On back, left hand grabs right leg.



Winds

Calmed by

Athena,

Land ahead cliffs,

Odysseus swam

On, reached river, emerged,

Sheltered under some bushes.



You

Ceded

Your control,

Docile body

Manipulated

Until flat on your back,

Legs spread, arm across your crotch.

Book One (Iliad)

Introduction  {Definition: An 'oil check' is an unofficial, illegal wrestling maneuver when applied in freestyle wrestling.  One wrestler inserts one, or more, finger(s) into another wrestler's rectum. The point of doing so- without a referee noticing- is to distract the insertee long enough for the inserter to try something else to reverse the match, escape, or gain control according to the rules. It is unofficial because while fingers are expressly prohibited from being inserted into openings- a wrestler's eyes, ears, nose, mouth- the rectum is not mentioned.

One wrestler places a hand between the legs of another wrestler but instead of moving onto a leg, grabs the testicles (or penis). The point of doing so- without a referee noticing- is to distract the wrestler handled long enough for the handler to try something else to reverse the match, or gain control acco...
