FOOTBALL PUNDITS
Football pundits only use
The present tense and I suppose
They have no sense of history
To me this is a mystery
So have they never been to school
They use the past tense not at all
Describing games played yesterday
As though the match was still in play
It’s sad to think they’re not that bright
They’re truly not that erudite
Though many it is true to say
Have lost their accents on the way.

True words Michael, but I do not bother with football but rugby is a different matter.
Love the artwork.
You didn't miss the Scotland France match then - i didn't want either side to win - France a foreign country who is no friend of ours and Scotland who wants a divorce - mind you at least the result was good for the land of my forefathers. Keep growing the leeks.
A fine write and pic M.

Wot is this football of which you speak? Not soccer perchance?
I enjoy mazes and labyrinths - your picture gets my eyes running the same way.
Funnily enough my sports teacher a lifetime ago insisted we call it soccer - he claimed that football was a generic word for any game played bt kicking a ball.
Good art, good poem, Michel.
Sports are an endless source for metaphor and simile.
They are indeed - thanks Jerry.
a lament to the demise of heritage accents as gateways to language's eloquence of veracity, for those tasked with burden of descriptive commentary..
good read Michael, gave me my first chuckle of the week
From across the pond, don’t get much excited about ninety minutes -
but love the read
