Poem on the Signing of Marouane Chamakh

So, hello, Marouane Chamakh,
Our new Number 29.
You used to play for the Girondins of Bordeaux
In an away shirt that was as red as the well-known wine of that region.
But now you will play in Arsenal’s royal red.
 
You left behind Yoann and club president Jean-Louis Triaud,
Your new friends will be Emmanuel, Nicklas and Theo.
Today we saw you holding up your new shirt with
Arsene grinning happily at all the lenses in
The kind of shirt I associate with comic screenwriter Larry David.
 
We hope you’ll score lots of goals this season
And especially lots from the passes and crosses of Cesc Fabregas.
Like you, he joined the club with a terrible haircut. Perhaps
During the summer you could get a haircut as good as his
And then not try to bunk off to Barcelona either.
 
So, hello, Marouane Chamakh,
Our new Number 29.

  17. ugandan goon Says:

    I may not agree with how you said it but i am grateful you have the opportunity to say it, al. please write one on how the media ( not you!) had the most premature ejaculation of all time twisting fabregas’ diplomatic response to a pointed question at a charity event in the city of his birth (as opposed to his hometown, london) into political capital for barcelona presidential hopefuls and destruction of a few acres of rainforest, for nowt. please write it in your own inimitable style as no one could rip that off and put it in the paper or rather we we hope they do. all the best, from out here in sunny kampala-on-sea

    What a waste of taxpayer’s money.

  19. Gooner Gooner Says:

    IF IT IS A POEM IT HAS TO RHYME…

  20. grabs Says:

    Interesting. What’s the general consensus? Does a poem have to rhyme in order to be a poem?

    And should poetry be written about Arsenal at all?

  21. Julian H Says:

    “Gooner Gooner”, is your knowledge of poetry based on Humpty Dumpty?

    Of course it doesn’t have to rhyme to be poetry, you utter numpty,

    Hopefully you’ll have spotted what I’ve done there,

    And acknowledge that Grabs is a modern day Voltaire.
