World Cup Widows! -Fun Poem by Lisa Cresswell Wilkinson

World Cup Widows! -Fun

Rating: 4.8


The first game has started, I wish it were the last
coz Ive never seen my partner flee down the stairs so fast
With a can of beer in one hand, footy guide in the other
For four weeks hes gonna live his life like a housemate on Big Brother
So on the interent I go to chat to my poet mates
'Im sorry theres no-one on line theyve all got prior dates! '
'The printer is jammed', I say to him 'It wont print off my rhyme'
'Im sorry pet you'll have to wait til the footy's gone half time! '
The dishes are piling up and theres not a scrap for dinner
My supermarket visit is dependant on the winner
'We'll have to have take-away', he says ' I aint got time to cook'
cause when the bloody footballs on no-one gets a second look
And as for hanky panky, I may as well give up
cause whats more important to a man, Sex or The World Cup!

Lisa I just love this kind of poetry, you see things for what they are and this is my kind of world, in more ways than one, yes Lisa I am football mad but it does not take over my life. I try to watch it when I can. A great poem with a great sense of humor cheers Sylvie
