Saturday Night In Relegation

A word once spelled out  

Defining what Saturday Night was all about  

Lads from Bay City  

Scene colorful, enchanting, and ever so pretty  

Roller and rocking  

Having one number that brought opportunity knocking  

Entertaining enthusiastic disco dance girls  

Experimenting with hair curls  

Today Londoners are inside  

Trusting the health care credibility protocol guide  

Proclaiming lockdown  

Serious rhetoric it did sound  

Was this ugly frown?  

Coming from the crown?  

That brought modern life back to the ground  

“Stay at home!”  

Spewed the cautious tone  

Instructed on the magical cell phone  

“Maybe read a book all alone”  

Club suggestion American author Nathaniel Hawthorne  

And his writing about Witches scorned  

Then convicted for the reason they were born  

Passing the spiritual grades  

Puritan anger sharpened threatened biblical blades  

Intention protect evangelical attitude that resembled a virgin island  

No one around to challenge any lying  

During minute thirteen  

Gallagher gent had a goal it seemed  

“Get us out of relegation! 

We are tired being patient!”  

Came from the bird  

When heard  

“Extra time went way too long  

The length of a Led Zeppelin song 

We need to socialize and that is not wrong.”  

Vengeful blades should be put a way  

Scoreboard reporting nothing to say  

Watch those in peaceful flight  

Reminding those the Kingdom was once known as Albion white  

Stop worrying about isolating fears  

Instead start toasting Saturday Night cheers
