It doesn't take a special bloke
To figure out the task,
To work out why the yanks all need
The first place over last.
Yeah they've always gotta win somehow,
And always gotta, just gotta!!
But that's just their Independence thing,
At least they aren't all about the Socc'a!

I've got the Queen, Sherlock Holmes,
And London soot stained in my hair,
But I've also got that flaming old
Round pig skin everywhere.
I couldn't knock them yanks forever,
'Cos there's one thing they've got right,
And I think it's quite bloody clever
That the Rams have turned awesome overnight!!

There's Mighty America all rolled into one for you,
Freedom and Justice for all,
The big guns crashing down to earth (Cowboys)
To be overtaken by the small!
God bless America,
Where else could Soccer perish?
By helping knock-out soccer is
Something yanks should cherish!

I can't wait 'till NFL come back to Wemberleee,
'cos socca' just ain't my cuppa tea!!

There once was a man from Nantucket.

Oh wait. That's not appropriate. Carry on.

A peom for the Promoted yet demoted....

Altough it seems afar, to curse is to be cursed, we must be brave.
With the wind behind our wings and splitting of our lips a prayer for the best brings forth good fortune.
The wins are devine in the fields form the vine, how can thy nature abandon us.
Soon to be far a dream that wont bind a team of young and old amoungst us.
A fork in the path, a road less travelled, the lows are nearer than the past.
How the struggle with the terms of forgotten woes, an anguished foe which neither be known for the promoted.
Thy sky seems open and thy mind speaks clear as i make this my final forgtotten win, for the catch was good and we all understood that even our victory we will be demoted!

Such a cruel ending....
