Football Poets

Hi Sharon, I’m so impressed by your “body” of work. Besides the enthusiasm, you are so technically accomplished. I’m a Toffee, but I’m one of those who thinks that Shankly is the greatest manager of that era (our “Cat” did some dodgy things at that time). I love to keep the post-Hillsborough spirit when the two clubs stood together. And appreciate your praise, eg, of Big Nev’s LGBT work. Re “Pie” I posted a similar verse based on Solomon Burke’s much shorter Stupidity some time ago. Create on, Dachlan

great lines Kev

so true for so many clubs Denys

Looking forward to welcoming Wolves to the King Power Stadium this season… where hopefully we will beat you! 😉 But truthfully welcome back to the top division! – Paul

Hi Crispin,

Many thanks for that. I’ve actually changed it back because I feel the more ridiculous it looks, the more Ogden Nash it is! My own personal choice, others may disagree. But I appreciate the thought. Cheers

Great poem Peter .I’ ve mucked about with the way it appears on the page if you don’t like it let me know.

Nash’s genius?

How about the Pele of poets?!!!    😉

absolutely lovin’ it!

Sorry everyone. Away on holidays and not very good at the computer stuff anyway.

I had thought I was commenting on Verse 2, Lines 3 and 4. The whole poem is done in rhyming couplets – I was merely commenting on the fact that the rhyme there / disappeared sticks out like a sore thumb!!

Nothing to do with black and white!

Big Yin! Is that Sir Billy Connolly far left on the main picture?
