Between The Lines - The Poetry Of Ipswich Town, No.6
Written by The_Flashing_Smile on Thursday, 25th Sep 2025 09:05

It seems last week I was a bit premature with the nautical theme.
In this week’s there’s also a bonus ex-player reference, for those of you older than 25 to spot. There’s even a Greek god reference.

So much packed into such a small poem about so little football!

Washout

It’s raining, it’s pouring
This football game is boring
Like Fish in a bowl, the ball wouldn’t roll
Thank Poseidon it’s off; we ain’t scoring.

So you may have noticed, I've changed the name from Flowing Moves to Between The Lines. I just think it's a better title. Because obviously football is played 'between the lines' on the pitch. And also, with any kind of literary work (and especially mine) one should always read between the lines!

Last year’s play-off finalists have not had a good start to the season, losing 4-1 to Bristol City on the opening weekend, going out of the Carabao Cup to new boys Birmingham and then falling to 1-0 defeats against Swansea, Millwall and Middlesbrough.

I'm not sure why this one came out like this. I think some of you calling for a different rhyme scheme got into my brain, but this stream of consciousness came to me upon waking this morning. Sometimes I just tune in, and it all drops out. It's best not to ask questions.
