“Football, football, football
It’s all you ever think about”

Mother flies through the room, with broom
And proceeds to scream and shout

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 “Look at all these dirty clothes, strewn everywhere
And mucky boots and muddy kit!”

Now she’s an improver, with hoover
And continues with her hissy fit!

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 “And what about your homework?
When will it be done?”

Now she’s a chops buster, with duster
The antithesis of fun

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 “Soon, I promise!” (I lied)
“But Mam, let me tell you… I scored!”
Her heart leapt inside, with pride
And like any pumped up mother, she roared!

Notes

Inspired after following the links when searching for a Sports Poetry anthology, called “And the Crowd Goes Wild”, which features a contribution by our own Peter Goulding.

The anthology was published in Nov 2012.

And Pete’s poem featuring Notcher, was submitted on this site in Nov 2007.

Ahead of the game!
