The Artful Shrimper · Aug 7, 2004

The Gaffer is the boss,
We shall want no more.
He maketh me gaze upon
That green field
They lead me from
The Far Post watering hole
Football hath returned again.
And me to my seat
Amongst the throes of shrimpers
Each calling for our team.

Yeah though I had walked
With years of pessismism
I shall fear none this season
Eagle and Spinner
Are with thee
Oh, thy penalty box
That Bart Hath covered
In the prescence of
All foes.
My head. Southend hath filled
My beer glass it overfloweth

Victory and passion
All my life
Shall sureley follow.
And at Roots Hall or
The new stadium
For ever more
My dwelling place
Must be.

Amen

...we will now sing hymn number 442 "What a friend we have in Tilly"

Blimey! Kiltman, you've got competition!

C'mon you

Shrimp in a Kilt · Aug 7, 2004

Blasphemous, Artful, but very good. I take it that you have Bart in goal because Darryl can't bear the cross?

We will now sing hymn 4-4-2 (to the tune of Amazing Grace)

Amazing Blues! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
We once did lose, but now we'll win,
Was crap, but now we're fab.

'Twas Tilly that taught the lads to win,
And Brush is by his side.
How precious did that pair appear
The hour they first arrived.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
They've already come;
Tilson/Brush hath brought us safe thus far
And now we'll win at home.

Lord Martin has promised good to us
3 points our hope secures;
Spinner will lead defensive lines
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this game shall finally end,
and play shall truly cease,
I shall possess upon my shirt,
A badge we wear with pride.

And come the season's end in May
In bright and shining sun,
We'll say good-bye to the basement league
With promotion we'll have won.

You're not afraid of upsetting the Big Man, then OS?

Another excellent effort, maybe the trust could release the Shrimpers Poetry Collection, or your good lady could render your tune on CD?

3 hours 36 minutes to kick off.... At full time will we "Shout aloud and sing for joy..." (Isiah 12:6a) or will there be "...weeping and gnashing of teeth." (Matthew 8:12b)

She sings Amazing Grace quite nicely actually. Maybe I'll have to get this recorded and can be submitted for consideration as the Shrimperzone Anthem?
