We walked down wet and windy Wembley Way
Followed by fifty thousand football fans,
The Shrewsbury sharpshooters sure that they
Would beat all Bristol Rovers’ best-laid plans.
We stair-stepped to the summit of the stands
To see the sporting spectacle below.
My special spectacles spanned the distance,
Sparing my sight the strain of staring so.
The Bristol boys beat the black and red foe -
The prize of promotion propelled their play -
While shellshocked Shrewsbury shall not advance
To higher heights than Hereford; hell no.
The raw new red arena roared hurray,
Then away walked the wet and weary fans.
