An ode to Mark Gower

[bishmania]

Pretty shoddy attempt, can anyone come up with something better? :)


The day he signed from Barnet we said 'who the hell is he?',
Another rubbish has been?
Those thoughts soon turned to glee,


A debut to remember, the first Mark wonder goal,
41 would follow,
They warmed us in the cold,


He made Roots Hall his home that day with seven on his back,
A second from the penalty spot,
For The Robins, there was no way back,


Wignall's only wonder, a magician with a hat,
A jinking run, a pin-point cross,
Despite his poor bad back,


A play off triumph followed with no Gower to be seen,
But he returned a different man,
A G-man marking where he's been,


That glorious day at Swansea, you did not score the goals,
But you showed how much we meant to you,
With the clenching of your fists,


If we knew that'd be your new home we never would have left,
It'll be hard to find the magic,
When G-man the magician has left,


Let's hope the boo boys feel guilty now you're no longer there,
No screamer from your right boot,
Is it a future we can bear?


But we must wish you good luck and move along ourselves,
Our G-man may be gone,
But the magic will come from somewhere else.

Think you should change your avatar to a photo of Pam Ayres, my loverrrr!

Not exactly a tribute to the art of iambic pentameter is it.....?
Have some green.

As much as it is a shame to see someone as creative and game changing as he COULD be, it would wrong to say that he had this effect on a game more than very sporadically and in at least half the games last year, he was poor. I wouldnt get a mortgage in Swansea if I was him becuase he will probably be quickly evicted if his contract is performance related!

Gower was a great and played left wing
But the crowd didn't often sing
His name.

Cant get any further, sorry.

We tried Tommy Black, but he wasn't ample
Now Gower has left to Smoke and Gamble
In Swansea.

Will that do?

A haiku is a quite legitimate poetic refrain, so I'm not sure that anyone would have just cause to complain.

It's anglicised free-form Haiku prose. The meter's not perfect, but it's fairly close. The 5-7-5 should be measured as 'on', which is Japanese for 'sound' though I could be wrong...

Ha ha, it's worse!

All a bit of harmless fun for someone at work with nothing to do my friend!
