All this talk about the 2010 FIFA World Cup and we are still in April.
I thought I’d honour the occasion with a light-hearted poem I wrote in my teens, about my love for the beautiful game.
Because My Team is On TV
I leave you talking on the phone
because my team is on TV
I leave you standing all alone…
because my team is on TV
I like to see them fighting for the ball
I like to hear the audience shouting “goal!”
The cake is burning in the oven.
The front door left wide open,
because my team is on TV
I don’t go to see every single match.
Throwing oranges when they fail –
Shouting obscene words at the referee
Was there an offside or
wasn’t there an offside?
I just stay home near the screen
shouting “Goal”
Encouraging my team.
*~*~*
OK, so there were lots of oranges where I grew up 😀
Looking forward to the world cup, ⚽
Love yourself – Love football 😉
