A Poem Before Saturday - Good Things Do Happen

SASA ILIC SAVES

And is buried in a mound
Of red and black tops - beige suits.
We're up and dancing, hugging each other.
Sasa Ilic saves
Wiping away years in the wilderness,
Ground sharing at Selhurst and Upton Park.
'Curbs' is on the pitch,
Players shaking hands, waving to the crowd.
"Going up, going up, going up,"
"Going up, going up, going up,'
"GO - ing UP."
Sasa Ilic saves - wiping away jokes
About being a Charlton fan,
'I'm the other supporter.'
Flanagan and "Allen" (Hales).
Fireworks explode showering silver shale,
Freddie Mercury: Full Volume,
'WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS.'
We're a flag waving, banner shaking
Mass of red. "Su-per, Super Clive,"
"Super Clive Mendonea."

SASA ILIC saves - Giving value
to those who formed the Valley Party.
THE RETURN TO FLOYD ROAD.
Kinsella raises the trophy. Reds, blacks and suits
Leap, dance, run and throw themselves
Around the pitch.

SASA ILIC SAVES
Red and white stripes converge
Like accelerated toothpaste
Down the exits.
CHARLTON ARE PREMIER LEAGUE.

    I was enjoying that until the last verse

    "Red and white stripes converge
    Like accelerated toothpaste"

    Curbs once managed CAFC
    Now thankfully we have Alan P
    He did well for years
    But then bored us to tears
    So now he can take West Ham to the CCC

    There once was a poster called Bing
    Who in the East Stand did try to sing
    They bundled him out
    Saying you're not allowed to shout
    Such obsenties at Marlon King

    There once was a poster called Barts
    Who had a chronic case of the farts
    He tried to disguise
    But the guilt was in his eyes
    He'd eaten all of susie's tarts

    There once was a poster called Sco
    Who wrote three poems in a row
    They were all quite witty
    Not posey or shitty
    It gave us a bit of a glow

    There once was a dood called ollie
    It was said "he's off his trolley"
    Kets said he'd take cash
    For a large block of hash
    But he replied "no dood, I only smoke colly"
  • MCSMCS

    ok stan just for you.

    roses are red
    violets are blue
    most poems rhyme
    but this one dont!

    There was a football manager called Alan
    Who really couldnt quite fathom
    When he went East across the water
    his footballing nous started to falter
    And his managerial career came to a halter...

    I was worried by the end of the second line!
  • ScoSco
    There once was a poster called Stan
    Who thought that WestSide was a woman*
    He fell for his lashes
    Ignoring his moustaches
    But got a shock when he tried to hold hands


    *Sorry to drag this up again WSS!

    I think I've been possessed by Edward Lear today...
