A game for gentlemen
Played by hooligans.
You see it so often,
The tug of the shirt,
Tripping others,
Arguing with the ref,
Handling the ball
Then denying it.
Why is football
So full of cheats?
So many fouls.
The refs have no respect,
All argue with the ref.
Why cannot this game,
This game for gentlemen
Be played by gentlemen?
But no,
It’s played by hooligans.
Did the journalist have it right
When he wrote:
“There’s more chance
Of Trump paying his taxes,
Than a footballer
Playing fair with a referee.”
