Twice Derby

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 So Richard Dawkins says science
is the poetry
of reality. I don’t know
if Stephen Hawkins rhymes with that.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Seriously though, and is not football
a serious business
and poetry sometimes more serious
than this.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 If science is the poetry of reality, then
poetry could be
the science of reality. Hmmmm.
And football an illusion. Hmmmm.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Seriously, though, if City win against Derby
on Wednesday
and then win the derby on Sunday . . .

Notes

Just a jokey dinner-time poem after hearing Richard Dawkins say “science is the poetry of reality” on television yesterday. Then, by way of noticing patterns, like Richard Dawkins said people do, I noticed that City’s two next games are Derby and the Manchester derby. I won’t be going down the bookies.
