Seasons Start Poem by Matthew Holloway

The seasons under way
bring on the banter
picking out transfers
selecting your side
correcting referees
the linesman too
how is that not a card
it was never off side
watching the table
waiting on cup draws
the anticipation building
get in, he shoots he scores
best player in the league
always a hot debate
the local rivals, derby day
bragging rights won
or cheated away
wait for that final whistle
this is more than a game
its a way of life
pick your side, kiss the badge
cross it in, on me head lad
the seasons under way
let the banter commence
