From the Royal Players
There once was a west ham
Went to Hollywood with a plan
Thackray was her name
She loved the American cheese game
Everything seemed fine
Sorority House filled with cheap wine
Doing the nickel and dime
Thackray had a dirty mind
After a long break
Realizing her actual financial stake
She found herself alone after the final take
Her tiny bubble burst
No longer loved instead feeling cursed
Then the wolves sent a message
Showing two late goals, a skillful lesson
Thackray pondered the gale force thrust
Letting her special spiritual powers know she isn’t going bust
As she returned to the Crystal Palace
Not shredding any malice
Listened the crown did
Since they admired her as a kid
“We do not want you in the relegation zone
Second tier subject waiting to answer the phone”
Smiling at her influential leaders
Believing what they were feeding her
“Yesterday those who wanted your fine ripe cherries
Got nothing and are buried”
Being at ease
Doing what she pleased
“Remember that boy Aston who was really bad?”
And today celebrates a holiday where he is called dad”
Thackray brought up
While the royals drank from their silver cup
Looking at each other the two realized Aston’s plan was foiled
Shrugging shoulders saying “he was spoiled”
“Yes my dear,” the Queen started
“You two did not have a nice time when parted”
Then the Prince replied
“We sent Chelsea to the Villa to handle the guy
He had one that made the visitor blue and upset
Angering Chelsea while she presented two things he will never forget”
Thackray gave her adieu
Thanking the pair and not being a fool
Before leaving the enchanting hall
Something from the dungeon paid her a call
It was a canary covered in dark soot
Already condemned fiddling with a magical flute
“What are you going to do?”
Asked the fowl startling Thackray with the questionable boo
“Soon it will be me and you”
Giving an evil stare
Not having any thoughts about this affair
“Go back to the wharf
And what you are worth
Clean that white collar”
Thackray hollered
“You may have money
But I am not your honey”
Backing off a bit
Taking the hit
Then the feathered singer delivered the next lines in the script
“Enjoy your white lilies
I was just joking you know being silly”
Turning red from the toffee moment that was a draw
Thackray nearly punched the tweet in his jaw
Quickly the bird disappeared
After sending the message Thackray feared
“There is no alerting the next of kin
Spurs are going to get kicked out and I am going for the win!”
