"footballing" poems
The greatest to ever play the game
Leo Messi, the synonym of Fame.
World stops when he starts to play
Lightning fast, defenders he slay.
When he plays, sun loses its shine
Footballing world ruled by an Argentine.
His passing and finishing is sublime
Surely the greatest of all time.
Because of you, Barca has survived
Watching you play makes us feel alive.
With every game makes his fans proud
While playing he owns the crowd.
Every time he plays its like fictional story.
Trophies that's sums up his career glories
The name engraved on football legacy.
Messi the world's greatest Treasury.

Remember David Beckham
The footballing great from Peckham.
He would always bend it
So no-one could defend it.

The Redmen have won the Premier League,
The Holy Footballing Grail is coming back home to Anfield Road,
Because Liverpool FC are top dogs again,
So Liverpool FC and their fans are in joy and happiness,
Thanks To Klopp and the lads,
Thanks To Klopp and the lads,
Thanks To Klopp and the lads.

Was he a disciple or just a friend of Jesus
So many to choose from it carries on through the ages
Whether you hail from the sunny realms of Brazil as Juan
Or lead your life on the bus tops of Paris, showboating to the tourists as Jean
you are always just John
Did you see that goal on Sunday in Barnsley from Pedro
crossed in on a sixpence by that guy on loan from Bristol
Parading as the next man to steal the footballing thrown from Beckham
Just a council house kid from the block down in Peckham
again, just John
Kissing the Blarney stone an excuse for his gob
the banter the laughter hiding the rile in his job
that day in Ireland that Sean always dreams of
going back would be heaven, to find the girl he should have once loved
again, just John
The shores of Naples looking out over the sea
Ischia, Procida, Capri, the place he’d rather be
behind lays dormant, Vesuvius once angry
Pompeii, Herculaneum destroyed in its fury
now time to spread his net and look for new shores
only Gino knows it’s time to open new doors
again, just John
No matter where you are from
there is somebody like you just struggling along
troubles brew in every corner of this planet
don’t think it’s just you who really cannot stand it
again, just John
Difficulty is rife no matter where you seem to look
your boss is a grievance and you wish them long gone
but it’s not just you, it’s you and every other John
so I’ll say it again without a look in the mirror
I know your stress my friend because I am that man
yes that is me
I am just John

Be that little girl for longer
stay there
naivety is easy lost
once you have
smeared
the make-up
of adulthood
across your beautiful face
something goes
that you will
never
regain
not in the
pocket of
your red velvet coat
or your ripped jeans
or in your toy box
revisited
with a tear
in an attic
moment
when it is all
too late
Stay the charming boy
the footballing
***** kneed
rascal
stay in your
cowboy and indian
dream
your truck driver
hinterland
before the
bubble is burst
by playground
wisdom
and peer
group poison
cherish your Christmas morning 4am’s
for as many years
as you can
before you
know too much
about too little
and find
it all banal

We are the Canadians in Red we are
So stylish and the best you've ever seen
We've just made history today
So sing along we're going to play all night long and we've had to wait untill now
So sit back and watch us play
As the fans sing along and chant we love Canada all day long and and
You'll see how wonderful we've
been big and strong Canadians all year long
And we'll sing Canada, Canada, Canada are the best and we'll show the world the rest stylish skillful singing a night long
We're going to the world cup to battle against the best

Singing out loud banging our drums and
Everyone will see our amazing footballers in Qatar and
We have a lot to prove dazzling smiling in the Canadian groove and fighting to prove our worth and
You'll wonder where we've been when you see us Canadians,
Canada Canada Canada
Footballing all the way we're not scared of you today and it's time to move and get into our football groove
Singing and dancing all night long
We are the Canadians, and where set to go
Against you and we can't wait because
We're going to sing our favorite song and drink our favorite beer as you all sing along
And you'll be singing Canada Canada Canada all night long.
