Football Poets

The season is ending
a strange one without doubt,

at night floodlights on,
watching my team Coventry City

He’s a great player
and so skilful
but he dives.

He’s a fox in the box
turns on a sixpence
but he dives.

He is gifted
a born striker
but he dives.

He’s a match winner
a touch of genius
but he […]

There’s rustling in the bush
by the training ground,
could it be a pesky fox
or a sniffing hound ?
There’s noise in that bush
probably just a bird,
or maybe the whistling wind
that we have all heard […]

Banana skin thrown
and racial abuse,
so ban the culprits
just no excuse.
Football’s not about colour
it’s supporting your side,
throw out the Neanderthals​
give them nowhere to hide.
It’s called The B […]

The Accrington Stanley fan got excited
when his team did score,

at their World Cup woe.
The tournament is wide […]

Back In The U.S.S.R.
England can go far,
and in Harry Kane
we’ve got a Shooting Star.
The players are now Heroes
many were just Born To Run,
and they swept aside Panama
banging in goals in the […]

Go to the bookies
and put on a World Cup bet
two quid that will do.

matches shown live on TVs
punters drinking tea.

that’s a good […]

Fans see themselves
as a camera zooms in,
their on the big screen
so they point and grin.

spectators start to pose
not watching the game.
Many on their […]
