Hmm... I don't think rhyme is required here. But someone might prove me wrong...
Good luck with this one. I think we'll need it

COMPETITION NO 148
by Tessa Castro

Hugh Trevor-Roper’s Wartime Journals include a lot about his research for The Last Days of Hitler, commissioned to dispel rumours that Hitler was still alive. He remarked that it was a pity that Pontius Pilate didn’t commission a Roman historian to do a similar book, taking evidence from the Apostles, soldiers, etc, to prove that Jesus was really dead. So, an extract from that book, please. Maximum 150 words.
