Euro 2024: FINAL: pre-match nerves!

U Rowe

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 We stand at the water’s edge….
shall we succumb
to Salacia’s salty stare
and drown in our sorrow?
Or will tomorrow’s
final
be the time to draw upon
our modern armada – a flotilla of faithful fans
egging us beyond the Spanish Inquisition….
can we change history
and be in a position
as the “most fortunate fleet”
that tasted danger
and drew back from defeat….
can we be the crew
to create a hullaballoo – and get the scores
that steers the trophy 
to Albion’s shores?!?!?!

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 My message to the lads….
Be like our Olympians
winners one and all
grafters, fighters
who held us in our thrall

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 be record breakers, like Mark Cavendish
full of verve and grit
and with a lethal finish – all about timing
be like the War Poets
facing adversity and atrocity
and yet came out rhyming

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 be like the Queen (God rest her soul)
for whom unity and service
was her regal goal

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 be like me – like us!
forever full of dreams
supporting our teams – through thick and thin
never ceasing, nor unwavering….
but then be unlike us
and make it to the top of Everest…
so that we might all share
this victory
and so that our mouths, will never rest!   😉

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 and finally
be like Sir Winston Churchill
inspired and inspiring… especially Gareth….
get us flying down the wings
and with the clever use of subs
bring us victory to savour, forever
@ our clubs and pubs!!!!
