Katie Borkins 1 Posted January 26, 2016 As a tribute to Rabbie Burns, the famous poet whose works nobody can understand, and in honour of about half our squad and management team, post your Norwich City poems here and the best ones will not go ignored.I WANT BEAUTY, IMAGERY AND A LINGERING SENSE OF EMOTION. Or just rhymes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katie Borkins 1 Posted January 26, 2016 Starter for ten.Like the red sea, our defence was partingThat''s what you get with Bassong and MartinAnd when that volley plopped in from LallanaI felt like inserting an unripe bananaInto the back passage of BT Sport.Instead, I bought season tickets at Dean Court.Now I can watch with enjoyment and prideAs Lewis Grabban shoots well wide.

lake district canary 4,531 Posted January 26, 2016 Born to be Norwich, is the true fan''s destiny,Born to be Norwich and part of it''s family.Father and son, sister and brother,All born to be Canaries, one and another.Nae, but we are all yellow and green,Our glories past that are seldom seen,Linger in the memory as times of great cheer,So ne''er mind the danger, there is nothing to fear.In all our wistful glances at the top of a table,We never lose sight of the one thing we are able,That whatever happens there is one thing for sure,The love of our club will never lose it''s allure.And even through hard times we may strike upon,Our support of City will go on and on.So on the ball city, steady on it will be,On the ball city, on to glory and victory.

Thirsty Lizard 3,164 Posted January 26, 2016 Well Darth Bor. Its a very crowded field, but if I had to choose my all time favourite poem I think I''d go for Kubla Khan by Coleridge.So here''s a Norwich City version of the first two verses:At Carrow Road did Delia Smith a stately pleasure dome decreeWhere Hucks the sacred winger ran, Taking on his bewildered man in front of the BarclayCarrow Road, the much loved groundWith stands and lights was girdled roundAnd here were goals and groans and cheers and thrillsAt the home of the famous Norwich CityQuite a challenging structure to replicate from there on, but I know you''re a man who likes a challenge Bor, so if you feel like doing the next bit bat it back to me and we''ll see if we can come up with something to rival Coleridge when he was wired off his t**s.

Thirsty Lizard 3,164 Posted January 26, 2016 Yeah - great stuff from Darth, LDC, Lessingham and City Angel. Purple - coincidence indeed. But it''s such a brilliant poem that perhaps not a total surprise we''ve both had a bit of a go at a NCFC version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will contemplate some of the other verses, but in the meantime, in a different style, with a debt to Harold Pinter:"I saw Ron Davies in his prime.Another time, another time."

Feedthewolf 4,846 Posted January 26, 2016 My all-time dream XI, by feedthewolfBetween the sticks, TheoklitosFrom Australia he came;But harshly he was jettisonedAfter just one game.At right-back Jon OstemoborHad electrifying pace;But sadly it was only usedTo run to the wrong place.The left side of the back fourWas proudly, briefly heldBy a no-mark from the NetherlandsNamed Fernando Derveld.To keep it tight at centre-backIs integral to the plot;Although the memo never reachedThe hapless Kevin Scott.Coolness under pressure, thoughIs a staple in a melee;So for services to bear hugs,Give it up for Ginger Pele!The right side of the midfield fourThink Barnes, think Tony Daley;Speed and skills and flair and thrills,Or Simon bloody Whaley.On the left, and quite bereftOf anything worth selling,The overrated geniusOf Christopher Llewellyn.The centre circle was the homeOf a grumpy Gallic stooge;He came, he saw, he got sent offMerci pour rien, Le Juge.His partner in the engine roomThe greasy-haired CanaryLeast likely to complete a passThe Jewson League''s Shaun Carey.When we came down in ninety-fiveA fire sale fans were fearingAlthough their fears were realised,At least we ditched Mike Sheron.When we came down in zero-fiveA new hero was born;Thirty-six games and just one goalGood riddance, Peter Thorne.No star team would be completeWithout a man to lead themBut Paul Lambert is not the manFor this long walk to freedom.If managers are music bandsThen this tw*t is ToploaderThe most offensive known to manIs patently Glenn Roeder.
