The summer is barely over
And here we go again.
The gum-chewers and their gangs return
Putting "pro" into profane.
Shouting this - waving that,
Too busy with their hands
That if they're not too careful
They'll end up in the stands.
Out on the freshly mown grass
Over paid prima-donnas
Remembering their acting skills
Crash to the turf like goners.
Fans look on in disbelief
Poor from the cost of a ticket,
Wondering why they "sub" this grief
When it's cheaper to watch cricket!
Just when you thought you had enough 'diving' at the Commonwealth Games!
A great take on the impending football season.
Thanks for your kind words on 'Beach Fight'.
Maybe it was the wrong type of sand for the Health and Safety Executive.
They say football is played for 90 minutes by players pretending they're hurt while rugby is played for 80 minutes by players pretending they're not.
The gum chewing reminds me of Sir Alex Ferguson watching intently, flanked with coaches each side.
Overpaid prima-donnas, well they are countless. (maybe not all with acting skills)
Really enjoyed reading this! :)
