Heard At The Hammer Girl Funeral
Inspired And Submitted To The After It's Gone Challenge
My dear departed hammer girl
Wearing window-shopping pearls
Today we say goodbye
Honoring your best try
Getting goals
But life is so cold
Time to send you below
You know
Underneath a ripping wreath
Departure we grieve
And believe
United West Hams are in a better place
Making the case
Playing under
Creating thunder
Due to many premiering blunders
When all is done
Pondering who won
Sporting books collecting bucks
Proclaiming good luck
Bubbling cheer
Sharing a former prime minister’s beer
You can handle
This flaming candle
Now playing the right level
Honestly, no longer meeting the red devil
West Ham, we will miss you
Feeling blue
I am being true
But in the end
We will defend
Their offensive attacks
And get back
Resurrected from the second tier
No longer going to hear
Chants of relegation fear
Since upon return
Leaving the EFL Championship urn
Strengthening, maturing, lesson maybe learned
Allowing to be earned
Another shot at a Championship League term
