Iconic.

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Cheering on the national team
Tis rare you’ll see him dream
Of what might have, could have been?
Fortune up a bulbous nose – into a claret stream.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Only see him now occasionally
A comic/lauded icon in our past
Yet…tis on a halcyon field, toe to toe agin Gaddafi
Fight connoisseurs recall a savage duel…few since can surpass.

Notes

A pivotal – albeit – quite brutal encounter, I was reminded of after watching a couple of World Cup matches recently, where now, like then – despite VAR and its benefits – it still seems a case of absolutely…anything goes on occasion?

Go well, be lucky and keep smiling.

Peace.
