Football Poets

“One poem follows another”
Just like Haaland’s goals
But elsewhere the scores dry up
And another coach’s head rolls

And so it is
That tetchy Tuchel takes leave
But do mighty Chelsea
Have a handy replace […]

Striker like poet
Blesses ‘net with poise n prose
Masterful finish

On the day we entrusted
Liz Truss to lead the nation
The girls win again
By a landslide, avalanche
The Lionesses roar with
Ferocious conviction

Against Luxembourg
Those whipping boys

Territory claimed
As theirs or yours
Flintlock and blunderbuss
Powder kept […]

Oh, Sunday, Sunday

When players used to be meek
Ever so sleek
But tough as teak
Then West Ham discovered
Although never recovered
From their fourth consecutive
Sunday
It had […]

Oh to be of a claret and blue disposition
A hat-trick of disasters
A cacophony of calamities
Reckless defending
West Ham, bottom of the
Premier League, no points
No goals. spineless, still dazed
Crocodile […]

Greyhound track that separated
us from our idols. Banging
the corrugated back of the Shed.
Boys’ turnstile. Rosettes, rattles,
hot dog sellers, trains that rumbled
behind the North Stand.

Some folks are their God botherers
Others bother hubby or the wife
Some folks bother no – body
They can’t be bothered much with life.

Football also has its botherers
They call a person baldy, blind or d […]

Ancient Chinese proverb:
one football fan’s
never-to-be-forgotten
victory is another’s
hardest-to-swallow defeat.
