Marc O'Brien Poet Rhyme

Broken Heart Lane

As the gossiping canary sat on the wharf 
Watching the west ham going forth 
“Off to mingle” 
Thackray said who was single 
“With the white lilies”
Forgetting about the wolves who were very chilly 
No goals on the board 
Points being ignored 
Entering into the lovely garden 
Thackray wondered 
Was this a survival test? 
After a long rest
Knowing her recording record was not the best 
Looking around Thackray saw the black and white message 
Feeding the buzz honey mustard dressing 
No middle ground to blur 
Only the relegation zone pot to stir 
What was starting?
Luring apples needing to be carting? 
There was a cherry in Aston’s Villa looking to be on top 
A sweet surprise inside the Championship League ice cream shoppe  
Already finding a flat down stairs 
Investigating canary wanting to know if the west ham was in an affair 
When Thackray engaged with the beautiful buds 
Enjoying the scent dreaming for a stud 
Seeing one in a spot 
A place where the defense could put an end to the shot 
But somehow there was a miss
And an own goal occurred without an assist 
“I did this all alone
It was me on the phone “ 
Thackray would gingerly groan 
Minutes later a man appeared 
From the darkness the west ham was in fear 
His name 
Was Kane 
And he ended the west ham visit 
Right in the net he really kissed it 
Returning to make a plan 
In the dungeon the canary laughed like a spur fan 
“I will make a note
Bachelor Jason was Thackray’s vote
They were secretly wed,” 
Corresponding canary said 
Walking down broken heart lane 
Thackray realized she was turning insane 
Due to the obsession fame 
Until she picked up the mail 
While scratching off a lottery ticket that failed 
Opening to read the newspaper’s tales 
She exclaimed, “That canary is going to get nailed!”
