Write about what you know
It’s every writers rule
I’ve been writing Bertie Bassetts
Ever since I was at school
Then I discovered Football Poets
To post up related work
To tell of goals missed and scored
Of life in a Canary shirt
Thousands of poems by hundreds of fans
Have so far been submitted
Talking a language we all understand
Sharing seasons, we’ve all benefitted
Then a man called Roger comes along
And thinks ‘I’ll write a poem about football’
What a marvellous invention
Terrific idea, not much about, great call
Dear Roger, I’ve heard your name before
When donning your writing hat
Just a message from hundreds of us
A FOOTBALL POEM? Wish WE’D thought of that!
