Oh Dear Wales.

Goldfinch60



There we were watching,

Watching the rugby,

Well at least I was.

Mary was by my side

Doing her things.

Wales verses England,

Mary had her Daffodil

And her leek by her side,

But it did no good

As England outplayed them,

Outplayed Wales and won,

Won significantly.

Sixty eight points for England

And only fourteen for Wales.

Although Mary was born in Wales

After this defeat she is still talking,

Talking to me,

And our love is still strong.

          What has happened to Wales, they were awful, that is love to sit and watch your side getting hammered by the team your husband supports and long may that continue,loved the read

            So true Tobani, the Welsg team have certainly come down in the sport, I can remember them back in the 1970's being a force to be reckoned with. Thank you for your kind words.

              Some things are more important than other Andy and priorities always need to be set.

                Love will always triumph over sports, unless there's a wager, then that may take some negotiating, lol. I know you will always cheer each other on, no matter what the odds. Take care!

                • Goldfinch60

                  Thank you Bella, so very true.
