Hull City OSC poetry competition

Quiet at the back.

I toyed with doing this in rhyme, but gave it up. I reckon others on here could have managed it.

I've a fair idea where this is liable to go on here, but I think there's a few on here that could put together a decent entry, even if they maybe wouldn't want to admit it to the rest of us.

Have a read of the message from the OSC, and if you've an offering send it via the link in the message.

The City of Culture is a great opportunity to showcase what we've got in this area, it'd be good to reveal more talent from Hull City to a wider audience.




The Hull City Official Supporters Club Poetry Competition entry period has been extended to 30 April 2015. The competition has been received well by fans, schools, the media and the City of Culture 2017 team and with entries still being received the organisers want to give people more time to enter.

Details of the competition can be found on the Supporters Club web site http://www.hullcityosc.com/or by contacting Tony Conway on [email protected] .


HULL - CITY OF FOOTBALL CULTURE

In two years time this great City of ours, Kingston Upon Hull, will be City of Culture. For 365 days there will be song, dance, music, theatre, artistry and performance of all types taking place all round the area. Here at the Hull City Official Supporters Club we think sport and in particular football is part of the arts and it is certainly culture. To promote the event and to get people thinking on these lines in preparation for 2017, we in conjunction with Dave Osgerby, Hull City's Poet-in-residence are launching a poetry competition.

Fans who read the City Match Day programme, Up the Tigers, will be familiar with Dave's match day poems, reflecting his fanatical support to the Tigers. Dave combines his two great cultural passions poetry and football by writing about Hull City in poetic form. We suspect there are many more poets out there amongst the thousands who support the club and we want to hear from them.

The competition is in 2 parts, one for the under 15's and one for the over 15's. We ask you to write a poem of no more that 200 words or 14 lines of prose. The subject is anything Hull City. Write about your favourite player (current of past) most memorable game or event, a manager, the grounds, the atmosphere, a season or even a family member or friend who is fanatical about the Tigers.

We would like to attract school children and ask that any schools in Hull and East Yorkshire that like to encourage literature and in particular poetry and would like to use football as a means of assisting children to get into poetry to consider entering the competition. David Osgerby is willing to assist any school to achieve this.

 

a poym by x aged umpty-eks
with a nod to latin

'allo!
alas,
allam
alarms us;
allah, t'is
all pants.


more later, you culture vultures.

 

There was an old man called Allam
Our clubs name he's trying to fashion
To something that's ****
Coz he's an old senile prick
Thank **** it's not likely to happen

 

Bit iffy, have they been checked?

 

We have got Alex Bruce
He offered Costa a truce
He tackled mid run
Costa fell on his bum
And now he's got a big bruise

 

We once had a player called Boyd
Who's a relation of Cher Lloyd
He dived over Hart
Then he spat like a dart
And Hart got a little annoyed

 

There once was a poster called patty
Who I think is a little bit batty
He must be prenatal
He mocks the disabled
And lives with his mummy and daddy

 

Dave Osgerby, Hull City's Poet-in-residence are launching a poetry competition.

i'll be honest i never buy a programme. Do we have any of Dave's offerings?

 

There once was a man called Dave
Who's heads had a bit of a shave
He's a very fine poet
And incredibly stoic
To sport such a hairstyle so brave

 

it's clear to me that you are at the pinnacle of your poetic powers.

 

I'm no expert, but as poem's go, that's rubbish.

 

I've wrote over 150 poems,about hull, fishing,depression and hope... Perfect for a hull city supporter..... I've wrote one about the perfect hull city player, he's made up of players past and present...I've nearly finished it, could use a bit of help in picking players, their strengths and weaknesses in their game..

 

I was going to call it " perfect Peter a hull city legend"

that's haikus for you. [

 

don't give up your day job.

 

That's no Haiku, it's too long.

 

there once was was a guy called Mr Hat
Who wrote poetry that was shat,
he tried to troll the City forum,
with his ramblings that we're innane,
and everyone thought he was a twat.

 

multiple verses.

 

26 minutes it took you to come up with that pile of horseshit.

 

How many of you 'oldies' remember this one:

Hull City has a player called Horton
Who had a long ball and a short 'un
He made up for the loss
With a dick like an 'oss
And a fa@rt like a 500 Norton!
