Independent Leyton Orient Forum

I was watching James May in Japan, and he's been banging on about these Japanese 3-line poems that have to have 5 syllables in line 1, 7 in line 2 and 5 again in line 3. I thought I'd have a bash at some Orient ones:

Boss Ross Embleton
Plays one attacker at home
Why does he do that

Leyton Orient
Finest team in the East End
But seldom win cups

My favourite haikus from the King of Cultural Self-Awareness:

Bye then, JAlabi. Like a dog with a balloon. Yet you made us smile.

"Alabi", we sang
But you could not play football
Nor could the others

Naaaoooooh get it forward!
Stop f*cking about with it!
Wake up Orient!

Martin Ling hates us
Because he is a lizard
And so is Meghan

Now that’s some conspiracy right there, are you mates with David Icke by any chance?

Winter boots and scarves,
Green parakeets and defeat.
Supporting the O's

Meet Nigel Travis
An evening with top man
Tonight at seven

Club coffers only
No Tim's rolls available
Doughnuts are on sale

Off to Brisbane Road
Off to see the Mighty Os
3 points please

Martin Ling prays
For clueless Swindon rejects
To come on the scene.

Some aliases
Cause confusion leading to
Lucky trolls himself
