World Poetry Day 22:49 - Mar 21 with 2872 views

Seeing as there's still over an hour left of World Poetry Day, It would be appropriate to leave this here. When things aren't easy, I often refer to this.

Sonnet 141 - William Shakespeare

In faith, I do not love thee with mine eyes,
For they in thee a thousand errors note;
But ’tis my heart that loves what they despise,
Who, in despite of view, is pleas’d to dote;
Nor are mine ears with thy tongue’s tune delighted;
Nor tender feeling, to base touches prone,
Nor taste, nor smell, desire to be invited
To any sensual feast with thee alone:
But my five wits nor my five senses can
Dissuade one foolish heart from serving thee,
Who leaves unsway’d the likeness of a man,
Thy proud heart’s slave and vassal wretch to be:
Only my plague thus far I count my gain,
That she that makes me sin awards me pain.

Quite fitting considering the current state of affairs

A limerick:

M E launched a ticket renewal
In a way that was branded quite cruel
But the oldie fans rise
Should have been no surprise-
The same c*** appointed Paul Jewell

To be accompanied by some ukulele strumming and sung in a George Formby voice:

Ian Milne, Ian Milne
M E's right hand man
Ian Milne, Ian Milne
He p1sses off fans like no one else can
Ian Milne, Ian Milne
Raiding Granny's purse
Ian Milne, Ian Milne
Each statement he makes makes the whole thing worse

Finally, a haiku:

Learner drivers all
And one Chief Executive
Struggle with U turns

I believe it is a tradition on TWTD that once the limerick and haiku are dispensed a clerihew (invented by Bentley apparently, not that I needed to check the form on wikipedia) is necessary:

Marcus Evans
Was at sixes and sevens
His plan for a price increase
Saw all season ticket renewals cease

Poll:

How will we get fourteen points from the last five games ?

And this be an acrostic:

Made in Portman Road
A proud story, tradition
Righteous fathers and exuberant sons
Caught in match day's breath
Unable and unwilling to escape it
Suffering frigid defeat, tepid draws

Equalisers prolonging season's hope
Viewed through blue hues
Almost reason to come
Negating the dire preceeding 89
Soul destroying minutes

Week after week
Hour on hour
Attempts two,
Target threatening nil

Hoof!
Agitation grows...
Voiced displeasure from those nestled amongst
Empty seats

Yards run
Open players not played in
Upsetting the faithful further

Down on the touchline
Overseeing the patterns made in his image
Negating first
Enough is more than enough

Tonight irony wins
Open mocking of referee, the opposition

Or our own
Unbelievable to hear at first but
Recently, normal

Crowds of supporters reduced to shivered shrugs
Lose or draw: it matters little
Until the sucked out life returns to Portman Road
Boys and their dads will not
