Remembering the Spread In the West Ham United Relegation Debt

It is at the half And the Hammies have not taken a bath Due to the rain Schedule was changed and that was a pain You see the UK had swamps like in Florida Delaying the little piggy’s invitation to be slaughtered, Playing Manchester City in the big blue house Now having a Wed date despite not having a spouse Going easy Man City had a strike But that was it and after forty-five minutes the Hammies were psyched. Are they the ones being taken? Allowing Manchester City to collect the bacon. Or will they escape the market trip? In the prime time English Premiere football script Early on West Ham stretcher made an appearance Giving a Hammer substitute clearance Man City had a miss calculated shot And West Ham still looked hot It was still One nil As West Ham got first aid The Citizens made moves as an attempt to make the sports book grade With another one put in goal Manchester City waited for West Ham to fold Throwing the ham on the frying pan Manchester City shrugged off that well reported UEFA ban Knowing it was time to coast MC hinted to West Ham “it is time for that relegation roast” Time is ticking and the Hammies are still alive Using the sports book getting 2.5 message of ‘give it a good try’ Would there be another goal? As they deal with reality being cold. Extra time is now on the board And the sporting midweek evening was headed for the door. Refs put up a time of four And even Bubbles The Bear said look at the score Hanging on to the bitter end The Hammies were able to defend Making a spread by a half point And giving a reason for a laugh at the sports book joint. Next up London boys The Industrial workers known for the rock and roll band that were toys? Give it your best The high pro filers may confess As the people realize if you were out of the glitz and glamour You could make real money using a hammer
