Blades - Poetry in Motion

[shreds1975]

Today is World Poetry Day and a few bloggers got together to post various efforts at poetic prose throughout the day, linking each other's sites and posts.

I posted a Blades poem and a couple of haikus here

Does anybody fancy having a go in this thread?? I can imagine we have a few creatively minded posters on here

 

[blader]

there was a united from sheffield
who were inept on a large football field
they wear red and white
their players are shite
the pain from watching them still hasnt healed

or an optimistic one:

there once was a team called the blades
explosive like army grenades
simmo is class
nozza can pass
and monty's a jack of all trades

 

[torridon]

we had speed as manager also blackwell
who were told by their boss that they must sell
good players who are fit
and replace them with shit
relegation? we'll see, time will tell.

Pam Eyres eat your heart out...

There was a old winger called Colin,
who ever week would score from a pen.
He also had a mate called Keith,
who scored more goals than he had teeth.
They didn't eat a very good diet,
but every Saturday these forwards ran riot.
They might have only been in Division Four
But oh my, this season was not a chore.
We went up as Champions that year,
The prices, they weren't that dear.
The last match we all got dressed up
and after we all got p!ssed up.

Darlington might have been good,
Lets just hope Swanseas even better.

Not sure if optimistic is the word! Simmo/Class Nozza/Pass in the same sentence or line??!!

Ha ha

Howl by Walthamstow Bladeberg

Were we cheated or not good enough?
The time has passed to ponder such stuff.
But Warnock has gone, back to his tractor as his final day contract rant was probably a factor.
Nade, Davis, Kazim-Richards all gone,
Defeat against Wigan and back to square one.

Jags was our North, our South, our East and West,
For the last few seasons hed been the best.
What Len Allchurch was to dad, Jags was to me,
(Len played between the end of the Chatterley ban and the Beatles' first LP)

But Robson arrived, an ex England great,
Bringing experience, contacts and know how by the crate.
Billy returned and Hendrie came too, and James Beattie dropped down to division two.
The new season dawned and the Blades were excited,
Promotion would be ours and injustice be righted.

It started so well when Beattie scored against Colchester,
The cry: ‘Who needs D’Jaffo? Ten Heuvel or Jack Lester?’
But within minutes the good work was undone,
The defence went to sleep and the score was 1-1.

Shall I compare United to a summers day?
Or a steaming pile of poo when they play away?
Is there honey still for tea?
Are United heading down to Division three?

Its said we're trying to change the style of play,
From Premiership relegation to Championship relegation at Bristol the other day.
Dressing room discord, responsibilities ducked,
Right now it looks like were properly…
