Football

Before the game I thought we'd lose,
To watch the game? I'd rather snooze,
But to the club I was dragged out,
But that we'd lose, I had no doubt.

We got there as the game began,
and sat beside another fan,
then, 'oh', surprise! Our team had scored,
before the our foe were on the board.

And by the time the siren blew,
We'd kicked some more, led by a few,
A quarter down, three left to go,
I still thought that we'd lose it though.

The second quarter changed the score,
Our foe had kicked a couple more,
But somehow still, we're in the hunt,
We're down by less than one straight punt.

The third one seemed to start ok,
Perhaps it would be my side's day?
But still didn't think it would,
This other team was far too good.

Early in the final term,
We'd kicked away, They'd start to squirm,
but soon enough they hit right back,
There's naught to do but have a crack.

With only seconds left to play,
We got the last kick of the day,
And only one point down as well,
he dropped the mark, we missed the bell!!

Still in the grander scheme of things,
We'll hold our head up, drink like kings,
The bookies had us beat by miles,
The end result allowed us smiles!
