1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 The Football Poets
Formed in 1995
Cricket bowled over
Title to a Blackburn Rover
The town came alive
Lancashire was proud
Rovers shouted out loud

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Hip, hip Premiership
In the limelight
Our toes did dip

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 7 lines in a verse
3 in the chorus
Don’t know what was worse
United to bore us
Singing to them perverse
Arsenal merely died
With SAS in the side

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Hip, hip Premiership
In the limelight
Our toes did dip

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 In 1987 was at college
Gaining electronic knowledge
Used to watch the Hudders
But followed Rovers away
Give us promotion
We used to pray
Getting drunk on Saturday

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Hip, hip Premiership
In the limelight
Our toes did dip

Notes

found your details in The Writer’s Handbook 2008 and I was inspired to write a poem when I saw that you formed in 1995 when my hometown team, Blackburn Rovers, won the Premiership.

Editors; it’s true FPs were born in 1995 as a group of writing and performing poets. Early performances included The Royal Festival Hall, Cheltenham Festival Of Literature and of course Stroud from pubs to the Stroud Fringe Festival. The site itself was launched in 2000 and set up by Dave Cockcroft ,and now boasts just under 10,000 published poems ,with over 22,000 submissions, received checked and edited on (or deleted off!) by 3 people for nearly eight years.. for nothing.
, check the ID number of each poem . Keep on!
