Trophy Day

When he tackled again, I was left feeling weak!

Then to lose the last game, and stay top of the league

It's a perfect conclusion, opinions won't sink

Just a simple illusion, of how others think

 

They dive on the surface, then smile with pride

Did he do it on purpose? Was he trying to hide? 

Gazed through his soul, as he tried to act proud

But he followed his goal, just to blend with the crowd

He might find, being true, would reward him first place!

With his fans in their seating, he took centre stage

When I knew he was cheating, he turned a new page!

 

He stood, then declared, he was wearing a mask

Left feeling so scared to go through with the task!

Kicked the ball out the way, then I tried to be friends

But he threw it in play, then ran back in defence

 

When the ref had revealed there was one vital minute

He barged through my midfield, determined to win it!

 

Open goal!!, last man!! With no place to hide!

I stood like the linesman, to flag him offside

 

Now, it wasn't my mission to draw the red card

For this crucial decision came down on him hard

 

Let the truth take its toll, but i wasn't forgetting!!

Your previous "goal?", had came off the side netting **
