A Poem Before Saturday - Good Things Do Happen

bingaddick

I found this by Ted Smith-Orr (I hope he doesn't mind me re-producing)

SASA ILIC SAVES

And is buried in a mound
Of red and black tops - beige suits.
We're up and dancing, hugging each other.
Sasa Ilic saves
Wiping away years in the wilderness,
Ground sharing at Selhurst and Upton Park.
'Curbs' is on the pitch,
Players shaking hands, waving to the crowd.
"Going up, going up, going up,"
"Going up, going up, going up,'
"GO - ing UP."
Sasa Ilic saves - wiping away jokes
About being a Charlton fan,
'I'm the other supporter.'
Flanagan and "Allen" (Hales).
Fireworks explode showering silver shale,
Freddie Mercury: Full Volume,
'WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS.'
We're a flag waving, banner shaking
Mass of red. "Su-per, Super Clive,"
"Super Clive Mendonea."

SASA ILIC saves - Giving value
to those who formed the Valley Party.
THE RETURN TO FLOYD ROAD.
Kinsella raises the trophy. Reds, blacks and suits
Leap, dance, run and throw themselves
Around the pitch.

SASA ILIC SAVES
Red and white stripes converge
Like accelerated toothpaste
Down the exits.
CHARLTON ARE PREMIER LEAGUE.

Henry Irving

I was enjoying that until the last verse

"Red and white stripes converge
Like accelerated toothpaste"

Oh dear

Curbs once managed CAFC
Now thankfully we have Alan P
He did well for years
But then bored us to tears
So now he can take West Ham to the CCC

Sco, you are a poet but you just don't know it!!

He'd rather be a fool with an impressive tool....

There once was a poster called Bing
Who in the East Stand did try to sing
They bundled him out
Saying you're not allowed to shout
Such obsenties at Marlon King

Sco

There once was a poster called Barts
Who had a chronic case of the farts
He tried to disguise
But the guilt was in his eyes
He'd eaten all of susie's tarts

There once was a poster called Sco
Who wrote three poems in a row
They were all quite witty
Not posey or shitty
It gave us a bit of a glow

MCS

lol you 2, lol

darn it Ollie-

I thought you had had a go!

Sco

There once was a dood called ollie
It was said "he's off his trolley"
Kets said he'd take cash
For a large block of hash
But he replied "no dood, I only smoke colly"

MCS

nice one sco, you bloody poet you


ok stan just for you.

roses are red
violets are blue
most poems rhyme
but this one dont!

There was a football manager called Alan
Who really couldnt quite fathom
When he went East across the water
his footballing nous started to falter
And his managerial career came to a halter...

StanmoreAddick

I was worried by the end of the second line!

Sco

There once was a poster called Stan
Who thought that WestSide was a woman*
He fell for his lashes
Ignoring his moustaches
But got a shock when he tried to hold hands


*Sorry to drag this up again WSS!

Sco

I think I've been possessed by Edward Lear today...
