World Cup (An England Supporter's POV)
Today it starts,
A game of two halves.
Shame no one told us.
They will play,
We will watch
With one eye half shut
They will talk,
Another good game.
But fail like
1970
,
To claim a prize,
We think of our own.
I was two the only time,
We raised a trophy,
That my father saw,
Being held aloft in ’
66
.
We claim our three lions roar,
Only they whimper out of tournaments,
With nothing, but a story of penalties,
And another cross bar denying.
So I say what will be different,
This four year cycle?
I know that the pain will be the same,
Angry words chanted, and dreams shattered
But then there is always
A spark of hope…
Or the next time
.
