There´s Just No Pleasing Some

Some should be wary of what they wish for
Like Downes who´d like us to go down,
Getting back isn´t easy any more
For proof, just ask one Ipswich Town

Now them I can understand feeling quite glum
And disappointed with their lot,
But apparently there´s just no pleasing some
Despite sharing of the Premier League pot

Some just cannot see the wood for the trees
When hoping for relegation,
Very soon we´d be right down on our knees
And in a desperate situation

All the good work of the last four-plus years
Would be wiped out in one fell swoop,
From being ahead we´d be back in arrears
Canary breeding back to chicken coop

So Mr. Downes I suggest you take a chat
With McNally and Bowkett A,
Explaining why you wished they´d kept off our mat
For I´d love to hear just what they say. OTBC -IHIT- PLITOPTB

 

...and if you were wondering, PLITOPTB (Premier League is the only place to be)

 

Spoilsport, I stayed on the page above and worked it out, it took all of 20 seconds!

You are spot on with your argument, I don't care if we never win a cup, I'm just happy to see my team playing at the top table!

 

Pardon me Dave, not wishing to spoil anyone´s fun, but I was beginning to wonder where everyone had got to, so needed to get it back to the top of the page

may i make a suggestion to lift the apparent gloom?

we should change our club name to 'AFC Norwich City' - that way we'd be out of the relegation zone!

 

I am envious of RBF. He is able to express joy, frustration, despair and everything inbetween via poetry.

All I've got is sarcasm and, if I get desperate, stupid sound effects.

 

sure, but who would win in a fight?

there's only one way to find out.................

 

No need to be envious Beef, we´ve all got different qualities, just need to find ´em that´s all.

 

He would, hands down

 

Relegation zone? Maybe a section in one stand could so renamed and allocated to season ticket holders who think like Downes.

 

Brilliant - we could make it soundproof too, so they couldn't hear the fans singing and cheering!!

 

That is true
But I´d need him too
I guess, up against the Beef,
In letting off steam
On behalf of our team
Our Beef is still the chief.

Trouble is Rex is just about as even-tempered as I am.

 

Haha just for clarification I could never go toe to toe with RBF he is basically like one of the xmen but with poetry powers

 

He is pretty susceptible to the occasional iambic pentameter, so you never know.

 

I have, on occasion, seen him resort to iambic tetrameter, so he may have other weaponry up his sleeve!

 

Steady on there old chap, you may wish to add an "again" in there!

This pedantry is catchy

Bah!

 

Yes, there was a gent from Stoke I recall
Who worked himself up into quite a fit,
Complaining my verse was worth nowt at all
If Iambic Pentameter wasn´t it,
But happily you lot are not so strict
Which makes life easier in every way,
Reporting on balls both headed and kicked
That keeps me content and busy each day.

 

Such a complaint simply hints at an inability to appreciate/understand verse rhythmically dissimilar to everyday English speech.
