A pride of Lionesses (and all the other teams)
Parade of the pony-tails.
No wrestling in the box;
getting up and getting on with it.
Football as it should be played.
Showing the men how to entertain,
putting them to shame.
The spirit of sport. Someone
should have a word with them.
All those young girls cheering goals,
singing Football’s Coming Home.
I’m not being leery - I hope -
but the game just got beautiful again.

Thanks for your comment, Russell. And for the Likes, the two Toms, the two Stephens, and Holden. The Lionesses play again tomorrow night! I should add that this poem also features on the excellent Football Poets site http://footballpoets.org/poems/a-pride-of-lionesses-and-all-the-other-teams/
