SONNET FOR ROONEY
SONNET FOR ROONEY
So I gets this call from Gareth Southgate
And he's laying it on like marmalade,
Saying come back Rooney you've got it made
Playing for Everton, O what a state!
I thought your ambition was to be great!
England's not a problem don't be afraid,
At Goodison you'll always make the grade,
So get those three lions back on you mate.
But I thought it over cos I'm not dumb
And now that I'm no longer in my prime
I figured maybe the moment has come
To give the team I love a thumbs up sign;
So sorry Gareth with England I'm done
For it’s club before country every time.
