Football is a game that requires a team
Scoring goals the ultimate desire
All you want to do is win
Ninety minutes when battle commences
...

The Sunday Roast
A British institution,
That is a Sunday Roast
From Basingstoke to Derby
...

There are daughters that great
And those that are good
I happen to have the best
I can't really comment on all the rest
...

It is just a game
Words I dare not utter
Other people have said the same
How dare you say that the reply is spluttered
...

Life a series of brief moments
Held for a second, barely a breathe
A sigh and a fragment of a life has gone
Perphaps a sensation of pain so fierce
...

Snowflakes fluttering through the air
The cold snap something the whole of Britain has to share
Poor tiny lambs nestle against their mothers
While icy winds blow beneath her coat they lay smothered
...

blue eyes
Eyes of blue
Oceans of hope
Endless tumbling waves
...

Words fall like leaves tumbling from autumn trees
In a miraid of colours they flutter on the breeze

To describe the seasons in words
lifts the heart to soar like a flock of birds
...

Just to say good afternoon
On this dull grey day
Nothing much to sing it's praises
Except that it is of course another day
...

Darkness still lays like a blanket across the sky
No one has yet stirred to greet a new day
I sit here quietly trying not to wake even a mouse
All is at peace here in this house
...

]No burning shore
Just a quiet country lane
Cows mooing a lament
Hues of grey colour the sky
...

Words of wit and wisdom
Stir hearts and souls of some
To others the fall foul
Like seeds on barren soil
...

Contemplating the world you face
As a soldier brave, and strong
The strength you find as you greet each day
Facing hardships you endure with fortitude
...

The signs of sadness are sometimes hidden from view
Some have the ability to hide all they feel
Tucking their pain away deep inside
Choosing not to share all they have to bare
...

Quantify pain if you can
Describe in words that make sense
Suffer it, but please suffer alone
Keep it to yourself
...
