An ode to the capital

Re: An ode to the capital

I've worked all morning on this

Cardiff City begins with C
Asters café that old people bang on about
Rhoose international airport
Down the docks blud
Ipswich were the last team to visit Ninian Park
Faerber, Winston Faerber
Fairwater is in Cardiff.

Leo’s at Leckwith, the old Cow and Snuffers
Over most seasons, how a City fan suffers
The Rose and Crown, Victoria park pool
Mostyn and St Illtydds Catholic schools
The Taurus by night and the Eurasion
A Saturday home game, a valleys invasion
St Davids hospital, where i was born
Soul crew’s new Burberry tattered & torn
Norwegian church, Penarth Rd Royal Mail
The Old Arcade, the Grangetown Whale

Re: An ode to the capital

Those younger days with no cares or worry
But heart in the mouth with a dribbling Don Murray
The excited chatter on the walk back to town
After watching a goal scored by our Bobby Brown
The board’s attitude had us over a barrel
Just the odd gifted flash from Fingers Farrell
The line up had a familiar ring
Carver, Bell, Harris & King
Inevitably they went for the dosh
Hello Warboys and goodbye Tosh
There was the odd glimpse of hope and a spark
Remember that cross by Rees to Clark
The dreadful times were about to appear
It all came to pass, the things that we fear
The dungeon that beckoned
Was worse than we reckoned

To be continued :hehe:

I think I’ll retire gracefully in deference to you and Mr Treseder.

Cardiff Council buses in crimson lake and cream
Cardiff General Station in the age of steam
Single decker trolley buses to the Pierhead
Wandering around the engines in Canton Loco Shed

Your third line is virtually identical to one I was going to use, but I scrapped it because I couldn't think of a Cardiff-linked theme that rhymed with Pier Head. Thinking about it now I could have added 'Going for a steak down in the Homestead' Drat and double drat lol

You do yourself a disservice Bob. You are more than capable of adding to this thread. 👍

It took me sometime to think of a rhyme for Pierhead but I’m just glad there’s someone as old as me who can remember the single decker trolley buses:thumbup:

A bit of Haiku:

The wind coming across the Bay,
Fans wending their way to the game:
Their cheeks, rosy.
