FOOTBALL AND POLITICS

 FOOTBALL AND POLITICS

Peter Woodgate


 

His nose grew longer, will he sneeze?

Oh no, it’s just the latest slease.

A penalty, it seemed to most,

But just in time, he moved the post.

Oh Boris, forgot there’s V.A.R?

You cannot move the posts that far.

The referee, (the opposition)

Have caused this rather glum position.

They have wingers who just dribble

Whilst the home team gladly fiddle.

To think I bought a season ticket,

Come on you cheats it’s just not cricket.

Your players other teams will dread

Their dreadful tackles don’t get red.

For a blatant fowl not even a booking

After the match some books need cooking.

I despair those calamities time after time,

They are certainly not a team of mine.

But worst of all in my throat there’s a lump

As Boris has now morphed into TRUMP.

  2. Good up-to-the-minute poem but don't you mean foul - or am I thinking of the government?
