Southend Elvis
First XI
We set sail this season on the good ship Southend, from the calm sea of the 1st division, our challenge was to cross the championship sea, a much rougher ocean,than we have been used to. Our crew was added too by a few highly paid seamen, who could help bolster the ranks. The SS Southend was full to the brim with passengers most of whom had paid in advance for the whole journey.
The Captain of the ship guided us all past a few tricky icebergs untill it started, the holes started to appear. Each week the holes got bigger, yet nothing was done, the captain said we will be ok, we'll reach the other side, but the holes kept appearing. The owner could see the holes but he did nothing, all he was concerned with was his new ship that he was building that could carry more passengers.
Then the tiny tug boat from up the A12 with only a couple of paying guests chugged past as the Southend floundered, the smell of the tug was unbearable but it kept on going.
As we speak the SS Southend is dead in the water, and the only hope,is that the owner highers some decent divers who can plug these holes, then maybe we can reach the other side. A few passengers might jump ship before that happens, but the one thing we all know is that if these holes aren't plugged the SS Southend will sink without a trace....
