Now don´t go and flap
If this week we cap
A good display off with a win,
It´s bound to be hard
We know how you guard
Your nest, and don´t let many in,
Stylish in flight
You are, and a sight
To behold, once all preening is done,
But the canny canary
Is up for the spree
And ready for a share of the fun,
We´re no match in size
But more than streetwise
And continually just peck away,
And size doesn´t count
Always, nor amount
Of pressure applied in the play,
Mr. Rodgers B.
And our Lambert P.
Both so good at handling birds,
Will prompt and cajole
I´m sure, for the whole
Duration with encouraging words,
And both of us perch
High up as we search
For those vital points which this year,
Will keep us on course
Despite the gale force
Winds that sometimes hit in this tier,
Also on view
Are last season´s two
High scorers from the Championship,
Graham D. and Holt
That sprightly young colt
Who all of us up here worship,
They´ve both proved they still
Will pick up their fill
Of goals in this top company,
And just one behind
Is Holt, could he find
A leveller here, we shall see,
But both sides could need
The Aswan Dam indeed
To help stem the oncoming tide,
Of attacks, if you
And we both stay true
To the principles by which we abide,
So all is in place
When feathered friends face
Each other in this Liberty fray,
For a high flying feast
Between west and east
But who´ll be winged commanders on the day?
Yours with unflapping optimism,
If this week we cap
A good display off with a win,
