So sorry to see you go Mo


So sorry to see you go Mo

Tally ho & bravo but must let you know

Not being weird...you had a bigger beard 

Face more hirsute to boot than even WG Grace.


Gleaming beaming grin..streaming through thick and thin...

Joker scheming and memeing of jolly japes in manic scrapes 

Becomes a theme which actually factually shapes the team..


Huge heart but at the start...batting was his art

But got the ball to dart...a sneaky peak of freak tweak

Rev of Revs..runs would leak but could get the conker to squeak

Bunsen burner turner..utterly butterly unique

It went wrong not long after the Swann swansong

Lucky that plucky Mo came along

Should be defended as ended up our number 3 in history


Lyrical levers larruping lush cover drives

Ridiculously pretty on the eye...fragrant flair as fresh as glacial air.

Humility..civility..and fragility...a kinder...peaky blinder..Midlands nobility

No cobblers.. Mo has to be one of the finest lip and cherry

Wobblers to ever come from the city of Brum

Where he was born...bred and buttered


Rally the Mayor to not dilly dally

Name a street Moeen's Alley


Oh and just in case you didn't 

Hear in the first place...

Or history does somehow misplace

Mo the face of grace..elan..silky as lace.. 

Had a bigger beard  than even the feared

Revered and rather weird...WG Grace
