Not absent - still here!
Keep Calm and Carry On Poeming. 😂
Have you seen a game of footy lately?
All codes – jeez do they have to be so rough.
Nothing left of gentlemanly conduct.
They go for it now, all in and so tough.
.
Ladies (oh sorry – didn’t I tell you?)
Where are your earrings lippy and high heels?
They’ve fair put the terrors up me lately –
But just now they’re starting to get good deals.

My interest in this particular field sport resumed when the girls got involved .. indeed, I prefer it to watching 22 multimillionaires' diving in agony if a gust of wind happens to catch them ..
The crowds are certainly gathering...
You talking about the round ball game? Yeh there do seem to be a few Prima Donnas.... (Careful Dave there could be a gendered debate brewing re use of terminology...)
I like Ozzie rules too .. 🦘
Much prefer the Ladies game - it's more honest and dare I say passionate.
In truth I don't watch a lot of footy - though I wouldn't miss State of Origin for quids. But the women are on the rise and I admire them for it.
I do not watch football Dave but I am a rugby nut and seen the ladies play both codes, you would never argue with them!
Andy
Adaptable I think is your middle name, Andy - you never argue with anybody.😊
The Men could learn a lot from the Ladies in how to conduct themselves as a professional sports person, nice read
Different countries, different cultures, different carry ons....or carry offs... I've largely given up on the UK.....
I'm riding my little pony! lol. A completely NS comment there.
Nothing more than I expected, orchi - nothing to add, nothing to subtract, nothing to contribute, nothing but trouble to find Cloud Cuckoo Land.
You knows me - if I got nothing much worth saying, I will say it anyway, in about 500 words of twaddle, and asking things like 'Is heehee the same as teehee? if not, what are the major differences?' lol.
Youneed a whole new post of your own to resolve that one, orchi - go to it now!
As with knights in jousting they must be preparing for some real battles… but that’s me conjecturing… again…
I think they are getting there....
Can you see me smiling? I’m not falling for the bait. Women are producing some great football at the moment without resorting to lippy and bad manners on the pitch. I’ve given you a fav here Mr Dog. 😂
Where to begin:
No bait There's a hint that you aren't sure where my allegiance lies. The first three lines of the second stanza are pure irony. Doubts? read "Comment from author about the poem: Go girls, go…." Search through my back catalogue - other evidence there.
AND I'm not asking for one, but you promised it, Yet there is no evidence of a fav up top Cassie (Lassie incognito).
Post Script: Previously you have complained 'Where are the Women? Certainly not here.....
I keep my promises. My bloomin phone screen is difficult to manoevre. The award ceremony has taken place😂.
Apologies and a curtesy.
Balls to the curtsey......😜
PS: Communication can be difficult sometimes. Did you mean 'curtsy'?
And there are a couple of similar words in that area which are making it difficult indeed....
I did, my spelling, can be rubbish. Something else - sorry
Women in sports is refereshing. Ilona Maher, a USA women’s rugby player) was on Dancing With the Stars and got second place. Her athleticism was second to none, she out did Danny Amendola (The Patriots, Super Bowl Champ), and many others. O was rooting for her all the way! A fantastic athlete and, as it turns out, ballroom dancer! All this to say, go women in footy and every any sport they choose to play. C’mon men, the competition scare you that much? Well done friend! 🌹👏
Thanks for the affirmation, Tristan. The women are only now beginning to receive justice with respect to pay and conditions, but still, by all accounts have a way to go.
You're welcome. This was a very refreshing read. Indeed, they do have a way to go, but any progress is encouraging to see.
Haven’t seen that game lately, Dave I guess I’m getting too old. The last game of FC I saw was that played by lovers. High heels would be a problem. My wife used to ask me to rub her feet until I found out the secret and squeezed them too hard. She didn’t ask after that.
Thanks for your randomised set of thoughts on the subject, Soren.
Your last move sounds like a twenty first century form of foot binding....
If your watching league? Some of those women outclass some of the men.
Couldn't agree more. Thanks for calling in.
Great write
Great of you to call, Tony.
You're welcome
It's verily a strange new world where feminism has erased the boundaries. Are they even women now that they're participating in such a sport? Sorry, girls, where I come from there's such a distinction in the sexes, it's not even possible. Ahem. Pardon me. Excellently rendered in your characteristic style so charmingly to boot, with a delightful poignancy and superb imagery. Thank you for sharing.
Oh Missy! I hope you haven't taken any of my individual lines seriously - the whole piece except for the last line (observational) was satirical/ironical. Take the 'gentlemanly' line - no footy game whatever code was/is gentlemanly - that adjective was somewhat dubiously attached to cricket....
And sorry, where you come from, if really as you describe, feels like a historical period piece.
Haha! Thank you for clarifying, good Sir.
Madam, you are more than welcome.
I think the women should
get some good deals in
sports these days I say! 👏
I will never get bored
watching them gals play! 👀 😳 😍🎉
Have a great weekend my friend!
Best regards ✌️ Thad
Cheers Thad - both to you and the girls....👍
Why when the Male Footballers score a goal , they all become ‘Mime-Artists.
At least the Girls Congratulate each other like in the old days.
I do think, particularly with the round ball game that it can be a little bit drama filled...
Thanks for the call.
i agree with these sentiments -'go girl, go'
a good write, my friend
keep them coming
