This coming Saturday the Clarets fight,
Forest await in their red and white.
To bring us luck, to spur our team,
We count our food, as is the dream.

Aldi’s treasures, fresh and sweet,
Four hundred grams of berries to eat.
So raise your hands, join the shout,
Let’s start the game — the blueberry count!

Ange and Parker, tactics tight,
Whilst Blueberries bless the Clarets’ fight.
Turf Moor cheering, loud and true,
This berry count will see us through.

Now wearing red, a face we all know,
Chris Wood returns, the Turf shall show.
But blueberries will tip the scales our way,
Good fortune for Burnley, this food count Saturday!




Total number of blueberries in the container

and

Total weight of all packaging


Count closes at 1:00pm

Wishing you all the very best of blueberry luck!

John


SCORING:

10 points for a direct hit
5 points for nearest guess (if not direct)

Cracking poem too John I wonder if we will get many more budding Laureates popping up with witty ditties.

No ‘spot on’ guesses but plenty of 5 pointers to share around!

Let’s hope there’s plenty of point on offer for the Clarets against the Tricky Trees later on!!

Thanks everyone.
