See The English Premiere Of 'Poetic Relegation'

Rumors abound  

All around town  

Lily White  
Needs a knight  

She is tangled  

Being wrangled  

By the tricky trees  

Planted by Peacocks from Leeds  

Wolves are down under  

Hearing wraths thunder  

Drinking Burnley claret wine  

Getting ready to do second tier time  

In comes the Hammer girl  

Wearing expensive pearls  

Bought using Gallo credit  

Wondering, ‘will anyone get it?’ 

Message, ‘relegate’  

Easier opponents await  

Fans will have reason to cheer  

Dousing the same expensive beer  

As players work on maturing skills 

Crunching numbers, paying the bills  

Oh yes, who is going to get dropped  

Commentating, ‘our season truly was a flop’  

Officially closing the show  

Taking the athletic production to parts unknown 

Goal now ‘will want to come back’ 

Claiming healed healthy, surviving a relegation attack
