THE BUSBY BABES REPLAYED

The Busby Babes were sublime

The best by far in their time

And when eight of their number

Went to their eternal slumber

They went straight to heaven

To join St Peters first XI

THE SURVING BABES OF MUNICH

 

Morgans and Blanchflower

Never played again

Some played to soon

Some could never play the same

 

Some were cast aside

Some fullfilled there destiny

But none were unscathed

After the tradgedy

 

Those who remained

Of the team Busby built

All survived the horror

But lived with the guilt

I WAS JUST SITTING IN THE STAND

 

I was just sitting in the stand

And wondered why absentmindedly

The football was getting bigger

And bigger and then it hit me

WHEN I GO AND PLAY GOLF

 

When I go and play Golf, there

Is something I’ve always done

I take a second pair of Trousers

Just in case I get a hole in one

WHY CAN'T ORPHANS PLAY BASEBALL?

 

Why can't orphans play baseball?

At the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome?

Well they say it’s nothing personal

It’s just that they can't find home

IT WAS DURING A CHESS GAME

 

It was during a Chess game

That I remember him saying

“Let’s make this more interesting”

So we agreed to stop playing

BATSMEN WEAR A PROTECTIVE BOX

 

Batsmen wear a protective box

In order to ensure

That the bowler cannot

Rearrange his furniture

THE FIRST TESTICULAR PROTECTION

 

The first testicular protection

Known as a "box" was introduced

In 1874

Whereas the first cranial protection

Known as a “helmet” was introduced

In 1974

So it only took a hundred years

For Cricketers to figure out the score

That balls shouldn’t be more

Important than brains anymore

COACH JOSÉ MOURINHO

 

Coach José Mourinho

Likes to strut and preen

But doesn’t like to lose

And likes to cause a scene

He’s always crying foul

As he’s a real drama queen


AT THIS YEAR’S INSECT SUPER BOWL

 

At this year’s insect Super Bowl

The quarterback played dismally

Rimsky-Korsakov dropped the ball

It was the plight of the fumble Bee

AS A MULTI SPORTS CLUB GRASSHOPPER

 

As a multi sports club Grasshopper

Club Zürich are just the ticket

They play a large number of sports

Though funnily enough Not Cricket
