Semi Final Day

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 We few, we happy few, we band of Tigers;
For he today that shouts his heart out with me
Shall be a Tiger; be he ne’er so vile
This day shall live long in his memory;
And gentle folk in Yorkshire now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their tongues while any speak
That roared with us on Semi Final Day!

Notes

(Apologies and respect to Wm.Shakespeare)
Essentially a parody of the Saint Crispins Day speech from Henry V

Editor Note: .Football Poets on Facebook Début Poem of The Week’

Welcome to Football Poets David. Great debut poem and fine re-working of the St Crispin’s Day speech. (NB: No favouritism whatsoever re St Crispin also being the inspiration for our editor’s Shakespeare driven name of course!) More please.
