Love and Football

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Bought my wife a Robben jersey
for our wedding anniversary.
She threw it back, then she began to curse me.
I’m guessing that she wanted a Van Persie.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 The truth is that it seems we’ve been divided
since her birthday and the League Cup coincided.
Bought her tickets. Haven’t I provided?
Why she stayed home she has not confided.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Maybe it’s our mini-van formation:
2-2-3 that’s causing this frustration.
I’d change it if she’d give an explanation
for my recent back-bench relegation.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 I think I’ll just suggest that we don’t sweat it.
Obsession can consume you if you let it.
We’ll be together next year. You can bet it.
Love and football. Lucky we both get it.
