My ode to Raymond Van Barneveld

Greetings Barney how do you do?
just had to write a poem to you
watching you in the world semi
against Phil Taylor, come on Barney

But i was watching a man shot
mentally, physically, not a lot
Phil had you beat at the start
you then woke up to that game of darts

Really I am a fan of yours
you carry all the underdogs cause
millions of darts fans worldwide
don't like the power tanning everyones hide

But Phil, in order to keep at the top
sorted his diet and life out
you need to really do the same
otherwise your heads gonna keep your darts lame

5-1 down, you realized how good you are
tho a lack of belief won't get you far
shaking your head at every turn
come on, when will you learn

giving your game away to Phil
who will promptly love to trample
all over you or any opponent
your game used to be heaven sent

the top of your game is phils equal
tho on that stage, seemed like hell
your supposed to enjoy what you do
what a life you got to loose

but surely better if you win
with no torture or personal suffering
but you got to put the hours in
and to change your life; be willing

I'm a spiritual healer too
and I can also help you
I really won't charge you a thing
don't like to see a good man
and a hero to many darts fans
put himself through all that suffering

a set or three back just pulled
come on; prolonging the inevitable
too many fifty's shot tonight
no world champion form or fight

you had the beating of the power just then
the world could see him rattling
if you were fitter, stopped eating crap
your darts would have been the ones to last

I'd also try a razorblade too
look sharp as your razor true
mind games are absolutely everywhere
saw tears in your eye: I KNOW YOU CARE

many darts fans want the old one back
the old RVB, 180's to stack
the one without any resistance
and no personal, shaking head, harrowing dance

the only way to psyche phil taylor
on him keep constant pressure
thats with darts, not with your head
cos thats not right; enough said
