The Derby´s still one of the best
And special every time,
And overshadows all the rest
A twice year pantomime,
Forty miles between the two
Yet this Sunday, as one,
Carrow Road will be part blue
Hoping to see some fun,
Irrespective of how well
Each of us may have fared,
Form may not have much to tell
When local teeth are bared
Ipswich just do have the call
In competitive games,
One hundred and six, in all
They´re two up in the frame,
But on our patch, Carrow Road
We lead them well, by six,
Hard to say what that will bode
When things get in the mix,
They topped around Christmastide
Where win followed on win,
But they´ve lately shown a slide
Is their squad looking thin?
Quite the opposite since Neil
Took charge of our hot seat,
He´s added belief and steel
From eight, just one defeat,
So it´s clear, momentum-wise
Just who holds all the trumps,
But we´ll still need wary eyes
So´s not to end like chumps,
Only one point separates
Us in the table too,
Although for both, one game awaits
Before this weekend´s do
Once that is out of the way
The tension´s sure to build,
Each half hoping in the fray
Their prayers can be fulfilled,
Those of us not fortunate
Enough to have seats there,
Must keep ourselves up to date
From our TV armchair,
East Anglian rivalry
Is so fierce, so it´s said,
That only one other ´Derby´
Is more so, so I´ve read
That´s in the Black Countryside
When Wolves take on West Brom,
So McCarthy Mick won´t hide
Should A. Neil ooze aplomb,
Heroes there will always be
And have been on both sides,
Those who relish such a spree
That forty miles divides,
But this one first and foremost
Is for the fans, and pride,
It´s only three points at the post
But tell that to the winning side. OTBC
