WC2014 Day 29 Rest Day

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Okay, another round of toasts
and then we must be going.
You were such entertaining hosts,
the fare was fine and flowing.
To bulging nets and skinny posts!
To winds of fortune blowing!
And one more drink to football’s ghosts
and then we must be going.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Okay, another round of drinks
and then we must be leaving.
The nicest time of all, methinks,
but why are our hosts grieving?
Some slunk off for forty winks
while some are outside, heaving,
but party time’s about high jinks
before we must be leaving.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Most guests are gone, the mood is blue,
we really must make tracks.
(though someone said there are a few
still waiting for the jacks)
Down the street the taxis flew,
the volume up to max.
Oh, thanks again to all of you
but now we must make tracks.
