A Sport and the Book

Somewhere resting in a room 
There was social enthusiasm gloom 
Feeling trapped 
Inside the flat 
Continuing developing creatively 
Writing books literary 
Putting all in place 
Having credible worth newspaper space 
With an innocent look 
And being a good cook 
This west ham knew how to iron 
Open to talk about entry level hiring 
Expert in all the new technology 
West ham was looking for a disruptive apology 
Feeling like being demoted 
Not knowing who voted 
Commanded to stay at home 
All alone 
With not much more than a telephone
This fluffy mind 
Did its time 
Then the day arrived 
Quiet playing sound was the cry 
Wanting to make a point 
After leaving the athletic joint 
Almost there 
From the woods a frightful scare 
A wandering wondering wolf with much hot air 
Visiting the enchanting Olympic venue 
Looking for American cheese and Ham on the menu 
For nearly ninety minutes the beast did stalk 
Preying on the tiny bubbles’ fantasy talk 
With seventeen to go 
Unleashed the first blow 
And a little later 
West hammy found itself served with a side of tatters
By the day’s close 
A result rose 
This temporary reprieve 
If one would believe 
From the crystal palace 
Cherries were discussed wondering about Alice 
As the tea cup turned 
Mad Hatter showed concern 
This was no Christmas Carol 
Despite St Lewis watching west ham heading for the falls in a barrel 
Next up are the lily whites 
Will west ham be ready for a survival fight?
