Will This Be The Weekend To Cheer?

Will this be the weekend to cheer
For Canary fans everywhere,
With Swans flying in
To pick up a win
Would help to make a smile appear...

..on many a glum looking face
Around the ´not606´ place,
Where moaning and groans
And throwing of stones
At Hughton is gathering pace

Unfairly so if you ask me
But I´m in the minority,
Of those who believe
That he will achieve
Success with us, apparently

The task he was set when he came
Consisted of just the one aim,
To make sure we stay
Up here, so we play
With the best, at this football game

And so far he is still on track
With McNally watching his back,
Had he any doubt
He´d have turfed him out
Before now, with or without flak

For his judgement´s one we can trust
He´s one who is never nonplussed,
And if he could see
It would end tragically
Do you think he would let us go bust

So until we do win the fight
To once again earn us the right,
To PL football
Goodbye to you all
I´m taking a break from this site. OTBC - IHIT

 

Hi RBF, wonderful words as ever from you, that makes an awful lot of sense to me, but what do I know?

Please don't be a stranger my friend, you always brighten my day with your poems, and I know I'm not alone!

 

Brilliant as usual RBF and you've 'hit the nail on the head' with your views on CH and DMcN.

I'm quietly confident that we'll stay up, but my only wish is that CH would tell/allow the players to go and win games as opposed to not losing them!!!!

 

Thanks again RBF. Agree with every word. I hope you don't stay away for long. Best wishes gg.

 

like GG i hope your exile is but brief and you are soon back to enlighten our dreary existence with you pearls of poetic brilliance.

 

can only echo the statements above. you always have a considered perspective rather than a hysterical short term reaction.

 

If we could start with a goal
To cheer our collective soul
From open play would be nice
but in off Holty's ar4e would suffice

We need some sort of performance
to make us sing and dance
A win would raise hopes
and stop most of our mopes

So can we telegraph her Majesty
and request permission to beat her Swans
and take a point or three?

I have to hand it to RBF this rhyming couplets business is harder than it looks. Let's hope that the board's poet laureate does not take too long a break.

 

I'm afraid I can't lift the gloom
Because, on Saturday noon
The Swans are in town
To bring Chris's house down
And get him sent back to the Toon

 

PGFWhite
You talk so much sh**e
For we have the hex over you,
It may not be pretty
But Swansea city
Will score one and we will score two!

Apologies RBF

 

But these 3 don't rhyme. Would suggest replacing 'everywhere' with 'in Tyne & Wear' or 'drinking beer' or 'changing gear' or 'unable to hear' or 'far and near' or 'shedding a tear'

Or best of all ... 'once a year'... as you only seem to win once a year these days

 

I know know how they sound with a Welsh accent, but they rhyme in my head.

 

So in Norfolk you say everyweer? I do like local dialects.

 

OK, look, I know this is a pointless conversation, but you were suggesting rhyming 'everywhere' with 'drinking beer' - where is the difference? (I don't have a regional accent btw)

 

No, I was suggesting REPLACING 'everywhere' with one of the others because it didn't rhyme.

Cheer and appear rhyme but they don't go with everywhere unless you say everyweer.

I would say this is a critical conversation because RBF's reputation is at stake

 

I don't really have an accent, but I can tell you it's more the other way round - in Norfolk "cheer" probably sounds to you closer to your "chair" (and "appear" a bit like your "a pair"), which then obviously rhymes with "everywhere"...

To me, "everyweer" sounds a bit Saffer or New Zealander

 

Wus gorn on yew tew, Oi hint gawt an accent oither bor

 

I nearla hed a roight ole barney wi’ him bor, I did.”

 

Mine's better!
