Oblivion in Norfolk

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Out with the rust, the has-beens! Torrid reckoning now is due,
Green and Yellow still their colours, but both indicate anew,
A lack of chops and lack of bones as did they lose and lose again,
To Reading, Forest, arch-foes Ipswich, and all else ‘till season’s end.
Long receded Bayern awe, and wins before the Spion Kop,
Kept us a throng for far too long as Norwich slithered to the drop.
‘League One’ nomenclatura: take no heed of false bravura,
As Sunday May the Third sends City Reeling to the Third!
