To make sure a win not be served on a plate
Rushed was the return of Big Sam Fergie’s mate
Grand Torres still out for a successive fifth
Powerless to help the Reds clamber up from sixth
Momentous for the skipper reaching 500 not out
There on the grim climate added to a drought
Rovers did once spring the trap with Blue Di Santo
Carra’s recovery added a little Christmas panto
So, in gratitude for the cordiality of the hosts
“Wash” fittingly shinned one onto the post
Clash was certainly not "Arte et labore"
Better celebrated as an annoying bore draw
Away Reds radiantly chanted where they stood
Benitez remained upbeat, we all knew Ewood
Handful call for Rafa to take sabbatical leave
The absolute majority still very much believe
Guess a point is better than leaving with nowt
Silver hunt this term still not Rover and out
