The boy Drogba

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 With the Blues on the verge
of defeat against the Germans
Drogba dragged them
back from the Bayern brink:
a corner from the right and the
muscular figure of Drogba
headed the ball past Neuer
and into the back of the net.
Then at the end of extra
time that Drogba
had the final pen:
with a shimmy and a dummy
sending Neuer the wrong way
he won it for Chelsea.
So Chelsea pensioner Drogba
repaid much of Roman’s wonga;
Chelsea fans doing the conga –
and breaking into song.
He can’t do anything wrong
that Didier, that Didier Drogba.

Notes

Still recovering from the excitement and I don’t even like Chelsea.
