A cup final poem


Yngwie

Recommended Posts

Having downloaded a ChatGPT app yesterday, I asked it for a poem in the style of William McGonagal about ICT winning the cup final. Within 20 seconds or so, this is what it gave me and I’d say it met the spec pretty well. Enjoy!
 

Oh, listen well, good people all, and hear my tale today
Of Inverness Caledonian Thistle's most triumphant play
For on the third of June, in Hampden Park so grand
They faced the mighty Celtic, the best team in the land

The air was thick with tension as the two teams took the field
And all across the country, fans were watching, hearts congealed
But Inverness Caledonian Thistle had a secret ace
His name was Billy Mckay, and he would soon take his place

The game began with Celtic on the front foot, full of fire
But Inverness Caledonian Thistle would not tire
They held their ground, they made their mark, they fought with all their might
And then, at last, the moment came, the moment of delight

For Billy Mckay, that hero brave, had found his chance at last
He scored not once, not twice, but thrice, and all the fans amassed
Did cheer and shout and sing his name, as Celtic hung their heads
For Inverness Caledonian Thistle had won, and Celtic's hopes were dead

Oh, what a day, what a glorious sight, to see the underdog win
To see the joy on faces, to hear the mighty din
For Inverness Caledonian Thistle had done what none thought they could
They'd beaten Celtic fair and square, and proved their mettle good

So here's to Billy Mckay, that hero of the hour
And here's to Inverness Caledonian Thistle's awesome power
For on that famous day in June, they showed us all their might
And won the Scottish Cup, a victory oh so bright!

It's scary, isn't it?  I created an account earlier today, and, by coincidence, one of the things I asked for was a poem about Inverness in the style of McGonagall.  It was pretty good.  Also, for my wife, I asked for a limerick about Stenhousemuir - and it gave me one which showed that it knew about their artificial pitch!

If there are any other computer scientists here, I asked for a 3000 word essay on denotational semantics in the style of P G Wodehouse - this is like asking Robert Burns to describe the internet - and it produced a pretty fair attempt.

Further experiments will follow - always remembering that it is recording everything that we ask for.

Now do the same for Celtic to see if they are going to win 10-0.

Well I’ve just asked it for a match report on the final in the style of the Daily Record. Both clubs get disqualified, I reckon!
 

Celtic have secured the Scottish Cup for the second year in a row after a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Inverness in the final at Hampden Park.

The Hoops were quick to take control of the match, dominating possession and forcing Inverness to defend deep in their own half. It was no surprise when they took the lead in the 19th minute, with striker Odsonne Edouard latching onto a through ball from midfielder Callum McGregor and slotting it past the Inverness goalkeeper.

Inverness, however, refused to give up and fought back with determination. Their hard work paid off in the 38th minute when striker James Keatings fired a low shot into the bottom corner of the Celtic net to level the score.

The second half saw both sides battling fiercely for the winner, with chances coming thick and fast. In the end, it was Celtic who emerged victorious, with winger Karamoko Dembele scoring the decisive goal in the 75th minute.

Inverness pushed hard for an equalizer in the final minutes of the game, but Celtic's defense held strong to secure the victory.

Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou was full of praise for his team after the match, saying: "I'm incredibly proud of the boys. They showed great character and determination to come back after Inverness equalized, and Karamoko's goal was a piece of magic."

Inverness boss Billy Dodds was disappointed with the result but proud of his team's performance. "We gave it our all out there today, but Celtic were just too strong in the end. I'm proud of the way my players fought until the very end, and we'll be back next year to try again."

Overall, it was a thrilling final that showcased the best of Scottish football, with both teams giving their all in pursuit of the prestigious Scottish Cup trophy.
