We pray to every God
For all the people lost and impacted in Turkey and SyriaBack in my early days
at almost every game
you’d surely hear the chant

and there w […] -

There was a young fella named Bertie
Whose predilection didn’t include Gertie(s)
He went to Qatar
They found him bizarre
And now he’s banged up watching CR7 get shirty! -

those not p […] -

As to whether or not the ball crossed the line

And digital wristbands
That pinpoints crossing ‘tween the sticks! -

To be auctioned

“One poem follows another”
Just like Haaland’s goals
But elsewhere the scores dry up
And another coach’s head rollsAnd so it is
That tetchy Tuchel takes leave
But do mighty Chelsea
