Fitba Crazy
BLZbozo Jul 2014
Eh like playin fitba wee meh Dad,
It's so funny and a wee bit sad
'Cause when eh beat him he gets mad.

Eh like playin fitba wee meh wee lassie,
She plays fitba like Shirley Bassey,

Meh Dad canny tackle, he's so mince.
He devs in and taks awa meh pins.

Meh lassie heiders the ba  wee the back o her heid,
Like a fish oot o water
Just before it's deid.
Unfinished Draft. Notes for the hard of Scots:

Football Crazy
One does enjoy playing football with my Father,
It is quite amusing and also a little upsetting
because I am more technically gifted as a player than my Father. Which upsets him.

One enjoys playing football with my Daughter.
She has the playing ability of Shirley Bassey. (ie not very good. Ms Bassey is NOT known for her footballing prowess.)
My Father does not possess the footballing skill nor ability to legitimately dispossess one of the ball. He lacks skill in the footballing department.
Rather than obtain the ball through fair play he prefers foul play.

My Daughter's ability in the headering of a football is seriously lacking, to the extent that it resembles a member of the aquatic family in its death throes.

Dare to dazzle, iconic diva

Behold an era, enrapture enthral

Silence devour, of vocal power

Renowned rendition – a rising star

Raise the bar, raise the roof

Glistening shimmer, strike a chord

Stage of a songstress, talent transformed

Driven determined, of diamonds worn

Splendour f-o-r-e-v-e-r, glamorous gift

Essence emerged, craft crystal clear

Sparkle supreme, showcase and shine

Sensational art form, eminence given

007, pre-eminence proven

Of charm interwoven

Impeccable gem

Shirley Bassey is a renowned songstress, with flair and appeal, that has captivated audiences worldwide. From humble beginnings, her earlier years would see her sights set for the stage. She took the opportunities to perform her vocal talent locally to small crowds. Yet a later opening of an audition placed her where opportunity could see her. With a manger on board, she could now pursue her dream on a larger scale and reach larger audiences.

She was driven, determined and bold, whilst she also had the crystal clear confidence to take her talent to the stage. Her power ballads have not only stood out, but have stood the test of time. Such pursuits had additionally brought about her role to sing iconic theme songs for James Bond. She possesses charisma and her glamorous style continues to be a phenomenal showcase for 'fashionistas' alike. Her legacy, as like diamonds continues to shine on, with diverse generations equally inspired
