Poem: January Sales

The time when all stragglers get a kick up the butt
You'd better move fast fore the window is shut

"Monster!" screams Eric Hall as the vultures start to hover
When transfer sharks hone in there's hardly time to recover

It's open season to turn things around
Buy well and all is well at the ground

Pinny pinching chairman with their Lebanese pound
Buy bad and it's an epitaph on your grave mound

Maam! Can I recommend a Ljungberg, a Shevy or a Valente
Or will Baros swap Villa for Levante?

Ribery and Hargreaves, if they come most will be glad
Yet Viduka offered 60 k, it's all gone a bit mad

It takes a wily fox to rejuvenate a depleted squad
To appease irate fans, you'll need an act of God

Deadline day sees a flurry of media interest
As the merry go round sees many a chairmen obsessed

Owen breaks pool hearts and becomes a Geordie
Tevez and El Jefe join the BNP

Will things change? Will tems start to fly
The reality of it all is for many it's goodbye
