Although October we are in
This season’s pantomime
Began early in Sheringham –
At The Rec post-half time!
The Christmas gifts were handed out –
Accepted gratefully,
All signs of common sense had gone
In smoke up the chimney!
The first half saw the Shannocks boss
But goals, somehow, evade,
The bar was clipped and chances missed
Before the Ards’ quick raid.
After the restart two cheap goals
Were gifted to Cornard,
But straight after Cary’s reply
All hopes were truly scarred!
The Reds’ keeper, well off his line
(Almost in the North Sea)
Allowed, straight from the kick off, Ards
To lob home easily.
The Shannocks made subs – and with ten
Cornard were looking tired,
Tiago’s run and zippy cross
Again, up the crowd: fired!
3-2 and Shezza looking like
A third would soon arrive,
But then the comedy aspect
Proved it was still alive!
‘Is the keeper on his line?’
‘Oh no, again, he’s NOT!’
And when the Blues won back the ball
Their player took a pot!
Another daft goal on the sheet
And all home fans did scratch
Their heads whilst saying, most confused:
‘How did we lose that match?!!’
Next week we’re on the road again
We journey down to Diss,
And, fingers crossed, we will give that
Mad nonsense stuff a miss!
