2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Desperately seeking Busan

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 I scanned the ads, and my heart skipped a beat
‘Desperately Seeking Busan’, looked a treat
missing, is not the word
how absurd
that with all my heart, I still hanker after Seoul
not to mention, Ulsan, Daegu, Incheon, Suwon, Gwangju,
Daejeon, Seogwipo, Jeonju
Sapporo, Ibaraki, Shizuoka, Osaka, Oita
and so I head to the cinema
to try to forget Saitama
but the antics, of Scooby Doo and Shaggy
cannot recompense, for Kobe and Miyagi
nor all that drama
that was set in Yokohama ….
how could I recapture, the magic of Niigata?
I thought of jetting out, jumping on a charter
but of course, I have to accept, the show is over
the empty stages swept, and so I search, for another supernova

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 II. Day 33.333r

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 It’s all over
It is no more
It’s been and gone
Out the door

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 I know I’ll miss
My daily footy fix
And so I’ll reminisce
Recursively, until 2006

Notes

Desperately seeking sanity, more like! And a new dictionary.
But I didn’t like the sound of ‘recurring’, or ‘recurrently’ or ‘reiteratively’ or ‘repeatedly’ or ‘repetitively’.

What a cracking tournament! One to remember
I’m hoping for the video compilation, come December
Santa, please note!
So, on with my hat, my coat
Signing off now, this has been Clik the mouse, aka World Cup Willie
Apologies, for the clichés, the puns and all the rhymes so silly!
