What suffering do you plan to inflict today, Arsenal? Enough.

Other clubs are worse, but only you so deftly raise hopes, then crush them.

Wounded may return, but only to lose their way as Özil lost his.

Adrift in a fog of mind, you draw us also there. We too are lost.

Enough! Coffee and birdsong call me. Let morning be; no BFG.
