A New Season Dawns

Phil Whyte

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 It’s the eve of the season,
Still warm summer rays,
We return full of hope
In the late evening haze.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 The pitch now pristine,
Not a blemish or taint,
And even the barriers
Have a new lick of paint.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 The players all tanned,
The manager upbeat,
The chairman waves,
At his team elite.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Can we improve this time round?
Will the new boys fit?
They do look the part
In their new shiny kit.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Everyone’s excited,
A friendly with Milan;
But we played like dogs
And lost four nil,
So now what’s the plan?
