\"haiku2\"<\/a>The English Premier League Weekend in poetic form.<\/strong><\/em><\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since I’m not well versed (see what I did there, Clive?<\/a>) in classical Japanese poetry, I can’t and will not even pretend to try anything more clever than\u00a0 a well known 3 line poetic form based on the concept of 5 syllables, then 7 syllables and then 5 syllables. So no, don’t expect anything as elegant as Karuta<\/a>, the Japanese Card game based upon the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, a classic Japanese poetry anthology of 100 poems, or waka<\/em><\/a>, written by 100 different poets.<\/p>\n

No….none of that. I’m going to keep it as simple and stupid as possible. Here goes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Burnley 1 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Manchester City 0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Match was dull dull dull<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Crystal Palace 3\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Queens Park Rangers 1<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chelsea 1\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Southampton 1<\/h3>\n

Goals and points were shared<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ManU(re) 3\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tootenham 0<\/h3>\n

ManU(re) stinks so bad<\/p>\n

On the farm and Old Trafford<\/p>\n

Tottenham stunk worse<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Everton 3\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Newcastle United 0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Arsenal 3\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 West Ham United 0<\/h3>\n

Ramsey blew bubbles<\/p>\n

Pretty bubbles in the air<\/p>\n

Hammer’s bubbles popped<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And now….a bold prediction sure to go wrong:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Swansea City ?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Liverpool ?<\/h3>\n

Liverpool sings like<\/p>\n

Ringo, but they still give the<\/p>\n

Swans ballet lessons<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There. Poetic justice delivered.<\/p>\n

As simple and stupid as it gets.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
