Beyond Reason

Beyond Reason Twenty great countries had gone to battle Staking all, e’en their children and their cattle Praying to their gods, each had kept vigil Their flags, each with a different sigil Hoping to, in supremacy, above the rest soar Whether they quack, neigh, mew or roar But the blue lion of the ruined Stamford bridge A fortress; her roof, now with many a leaky ridge Bombed in the last war; has now defied reason And risen from the ash pile of last season To each and every country, overwhelm And again, reign supreme in the realm A poem on the 2016/2017 EPL Season May 17, 2017
