dedalus Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Ingerland (written 45 mins. before England-Slovenia kick-off) O Rooney, Lampard, Gerrard, Terry, You came out here in such a hurry To lay the world beneath your feet, To show Olde Englande’s not effete And lay aside all worry. O Terry, Rooney, Lampard, Cole , You found yourselves inside a hole With insolent colonial lungers, Draw-seeking cheeky plungers, Good God, well, Bless my Soul! Not to worry, just dipping the toe, You’ll have a go at the following foe, Algeria? Don’t make me laugh. Hysteria! You’ll get your feet and goals in gear And show the world why you’re really here … Oh dear. Oh God. Of a sudden the newspapers are not nice They liken you to a shower of mice And it’s really not fair. Terry gets sent out there To clear the air. Then it’s (why not?) pull the rug Out from under. Blood and thunder! O ye of little faith, we shall win, And drop Slovenia in the bin! We shall go on to the quarter, semi-finals (and guide our fans to free urinals) We shall never, never surrender!

Aleksandra Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 @ :) Dedalus, this World Cup brought lots of surprises, I think. You predicted well about this England-Slovenia match. But what are your predictions now? :) My first prediction was that Argentina would be the winner, but I failed :). Now, I predict that Spain will be the one this year :). Anyway, your poem is right on track. The way how it is written and expressed gives me pleasure while reading it. Thank you for sharing.

Frank E Gibbard Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Brendan I can only now approach this one after a period of profound grieving for the errant soles of English national football, you show what can be written in poetic form in terms of subject matter wide-reaching and esoteric. From your angerland correspondent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
