Reds Wolves At Night
Flood lights are bright
One more match am I right
It’s the reds of Liverpool
And the Wolves who are determined not to be fools
Soon it will be a weekend break
With only the England Champions games at stake
If the Wolves are the ones end up with the take
One will make money that could be determined finagled and fake
Cooler heads should prevail
Keeping the Reds undefeated streak without a fail
This would mean one would invest more
To make a small profit from an easy score
Early on the Reds showed their muscle
Relaxing those who do the business-like hustle
By knocking it in
One may wonder if this would be enough for the win
Heading to the rest rooms after the first forty-five
The fact was the Wolves were still alive
Despite the Wolves not having anything on the board
The Reds should be concerned if they needed another score
The Reds went on attack attack
The Wolves were resistant and stayed on track
When fifty minutes ticked away
The underdogs started to make some hay
Wearing the yellow and staying mellow
When they agitated the calculated bettor
With one nice header
Level at one it was
Creating some upset buzz
Rain and mist seem to persist
And one more goal should be on both team’s list
As the hour gets late
The Reds did not have much more time to wait
Suddenly there was a shot on goal
Which only made the Wolves look bold
Things seem to be tight
In this prime-time fight
Then under seven
There was a goal den opportunity sent from heaven
A kick that was done with so much meaning
That sent the crowd home screaming
Liverpool two Wolves one
And now that it is done
It is time to celebrate this won
