Not for Town.
Seven losses on the bounce,
leave a frown on the face,
nasty taste in the mouth.
Going down?

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Lucky seven?
Not for Town.
Seven points not enough,
getting tough.
Smiles are forced, shoulders droop.
In the soup?

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Lucky seven?
Not for Town.
Seven games with no wins,
being punished for my sins?
Must take stock,
stop the rot.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Lucky seven?
Not for Town.
Goals against twenty one,
not much fun.
Such a sad,
depressing run.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Lucky seven?
Not for Town.
Looking ‘Iffy’ for the boys.
Feeling sad, feeling sore,
all we want
is a draw.

Notes

Seven defeats on the spin for Swindon Town – I’m managing to retain a sense of humour – just!!
