Few people will argue that Imperial College students are an apathetic bunch
wherever anything other than college work (or drinking) is concerned.  A
most interesting exception to this is the club BLISS.  This was recently
rediscovered in an old union handbook but unfortunately the society no
longer exists.  The following was a piece of their publicity which is being
republished without the author's permission in the hope that the society
is restarted.

          Creased and supple, subtle crack
          Dull, yet vital vibrant black
          Worn through time as aeons pass
          Of bikes and bondage, speed and grass
          Caught forever, caged in mind
          Thongs to keep the darker kind
          For speed and victory, power and lust
          No doubt there is the black to trust.

          Worn with care, holds wrist and arm
          Black is power, beauty, charm
          Senses sharpened, muscles keyed
          Disgrace to mercy, cowards plead
          Wrapped and knotted, skin tight fit
          Hugging body, soothing wit
          Conscience clothed, triumphant kiss
          One with honour, yours truly, BLISS.
