Football Eh?

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Football’s back, the crowd’s go wild,
brand new kit for every child,
the beautiful game is back in play,
where players strut and display,
their outlandish haircuts, bold and bright,
a fashion statement, it’s quite a sight.
Tattoos inked with reckless glee,
players pose because they’re on TV,
offside flags go up and down,
strikers’ smiles turn to a frown.
Yellow cards are flying high,
Red cards wave as players cry.
Referee squints at the big, bright screen,
is it a goal, or just a dream?
A goal’s been scored, the fans all shout,
but wait, hang on, VAR’s ruled it out.
Top of the league, the fans all sing,
the manager’s hailed as the king,
but when they’re bottom, he is hated,
sacked in the morning, see you later!
A few weeks in, it’s like it’s never been away,
only another nine months to go,
Football, eh?
