1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Lure of Yankee dollar too much
as Brand Beckham prepares
to Touchdown on American soil.
Kissing goodbye to serious
soccer forever, Goldenballs
seems to have it all.
Imagine Becks parading down sidewalk
in pin-stripe suit
with pin-thin wife,
diamond teeth gleaming
like the opulent jewels in his ears.
Cryptic comments from various gaffers;
former father figure Fergie
can barely conceal a smirk
whilst others are nonplused.
Can Becks succeed where Best failed?
Turning soccer into a sport
loved and played by millions,
not a sideshow for creaking superstars.

Notes

Life is certainly never dull for David Beckham. His decision to up sticks and go to the US isn’t about money? Err……..right!
