1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 I write…

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 you’re like a panther
elusive, sharp, stealthy
my stuttering stanzas neither do you justice
nor capture the imagination
in the same way that your lithe, lissom, lunging kill does
or rather did
heaven forbid
has it been that long?
I remember the song
like it was yesterday
and I long
for the like of you again
the Master of men
imprisoning them
in the cage of defeat

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 and now I must finish, as I started…

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 I Wright…

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Ian Wright, Wright, Wright
Ian Wright, Wright, Wright

Notes

in admiration of a certain hero …

who will be popping up on our screens next Monday on Sky 1, where
he will be “going inside” and coaching a prison football team

(Already been done before – in the cinema – Vinnie Jones in ‘Mean Machine’)
