Poetry on Toast….And That Ol’ Zola Marmalade

Crispin Thomas

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 were you chancer or dancer
or real hope enhancer
for those who lose touch with the game
was it wistful or magic
or even pelagic*
ive watched it again and agian

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 was it planned or impromptu
the place it had gone to
or totally out of the blue
surrounded by yellow
how charming and mellow
the way that you do what you do

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 and was it a trick or a purposeful flick
like parking in London or nicking a chip
it’s strange how we never willl know
there are moments galore
there are great ones for sure
but sometimes you have to let go

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 for like haiku one liners
you gently remind us
of goals that are too great to pick
but on colds night like these
in some pub full of fleas
it certainly gave me a kick

Notes

(on Zola’s back-flick goal v Norwich… FA Cup Replay Jan 02
(pelagic *relating to the open sea…which is nice!)
