    Once more as I venture to visit this board
    My timing seems somewhat misplaced,
    I had, for a second, just hoped to applaud
    A promotional after taste

    But I see it's a case of jumping the gun
    As goals and points are hard to find,
    And despite a Webber/Wagner reunion
    It's more like blind leading the blind

    Now I haven't followed them closely enough
    To proffer a solution here ,
    But what happened to those, when the going's tough
    Who stand firm, and don't disappear

    Yesterday's shambolic display did seem
    To remind me of yesteryears ,
    When visiting forces, whatever the team
    Would send Carrow Road into tears

    One extra quirk that I noticed post match
    A certain R. Martin, a hit,
    At Swansea, and one of the very best of a good batch
    When pulling on the yellow kit.

    Could do with more like him

    Still alive I see, gandy old friend
    I hope all's still well at your end,
    This Canary lark
    On and off the park
    Is enough to drive one round the bend.

    I think I can say with no fear
    We're all kicking here loud and clear,
    But one never knows
    What the next corner throws
    In the way of hurdles still left to bear.

    Yes, the poems; but more than that, the good sense.

    You know, you're all far far too kind
    Just airing a view in my way,
    A congenial way to unwind
    While cogitating on the play,
    If only there was more to cheer
    A bright spark around the next bend,
    But so many times we've been here
    It's predictable how it will end.

    Really do hope I'm wrong and there's a spectacular sting in the tail, but somehow I doubt it

    Sorry to gatecrash your thread, but did you know that Bramwell Tovey sadly passed away?

    o

    No, that was news to me, RIP
    We're all sadly going that way,
    I see he was one year younger than me,
    And resident in the US of A.


    That's what I've just learned, I'd otherwise lost track of him.
