Congratulations, young footballer, Marcus Rashford.

Your earnest campaign has certainly struck a chord.

The appeal acknowledged and backed by our state.

Forcing a government U-turn and a political debate.

 

Praise and adoration was not your intention to seek.

The easy option, you could have turned the other cheek.

A sincere letter was composed and signed in your name.

No requirement necessary to add to your fortune and fame.

 

Famous for Football and delighting many fans in red.

Thankful are the families and children that will be fed.

Millions of children growing up like you used to be.

Not going hungry because now they eat lunch for free.

 

So often bad news reports of the famous and the greedy.

Refreshing to hear about a footballer assisting the needy.

Your Mum is delightful and delighted, of course so proud.

You scored big this week and the country was your crowd.

 

Congratulations, young footballer, Marcus Rashford.

Your heartfelt campaign has absolutely struck a chord.

Some people have too little, some people have plenty.

Just look what we can do when we come together, this is England 2020.
