Chelsea Alive After Round Number Five

After doing my author duties 
Got to the pub for a futbol beauty 
Liverpool Chelsea in a duel under the lights 
Should go down to the final seconds I do write 
But the score before I order is one nil 
Hoping the Champions would be able to overcome this chill 
I must say Chelsea did the early work 
Even before I picked up my fork 
Another half has come along 
And the Reds must be feeling a little bit wrong 
It had been nearly 144 minutes since they did their goal song and dance 
Giving no chance for the coronavirus to advance 
How up setter they could be with all this time no netter we see 
Returning to the bridge Chelsea had marching orders 
Having full control, no need for any confusing match related reason to sorter
Aggressive they do play 
I must say 
Making the English Premiere Champions earn their pay 
Reds are the season star 
While Chelsea works the FA Cup bar 
Due to Liverpool mistakes 
They must line up and show what it takes 
To defend themselves from the direct kicks 
Standing strong without any knowledge of sporting tricks 
Hearing the little prayer, it was deflected over there 
It did not go in 
No need for Liverpool to call the tournament next of kin 
A little later Chelsea did close the deal 
Giving reality the news visiting Liverpool was not going to win a steal 
Liverpool still holds the top spot in the EPL 
While Chelsea realizes they are still in it as a marketing tool for the sport to sell 
Nearly 188 minutes without a goal 
Time to warm up using the boxer day gift of the stocking stuffer coal 
But the boys in blue will continue towards the FA Cup crown
While now its time to celebrate with a night on the town.
