There’s rustling in the bush
by the training ground,
could it be a pesky fox
or a sniffing hound ?
There’s noise in that bush
probably just a bird,
or maybe the whistling wind
that we have all heard ?
There’s movement in that bush
guess it’s a feral cat ,
looking for a mouse
then again it could be a rat ?
There’s weird sounds in that bush
it’s sending the gaffer insane,
Frank Lampard is paranoid
but all we’re doing is trying to train.
There’s a human in that bush
now that is really sly,
been sent by Leeds United
he’s a bloody football spy !

Hi Crispin,
Many thanks for that. I’ve actually changed it back because I feel the more ridiculous it looks, the more Ogden Nash it is! My own personal choice, others may disagree. But I appreciate the thought. Cheers

Sorry everyone. Away on holidays and not very good at the computer stuff anyway.
I had thought I was commenting on Verse 2, Lines 3 and 4. The whole poem is done in rhyming couplets – I was merely commenting on the fact that the rhyme there / disappeared sticks out like a sore thumb!!
Nothing to do with black and white!
