Another Football Season Has Already Begun Poem by Francis Duggan

Another Football Season has already begun
Where thirty six young men in their life's prime after one ball do run
And tackle the one with the football and drag him to the ground
Where so many men fight for one ball is there sense to be found
It would make far more sense to me anyway
If the powers that be supplied each player with a ball with to play
Since when you think about it that it does make little or no sense at all
To see thirty six grown men fighting over one ball
When their football club win the fans in the pub celebrate
Such excitement and jubilation a field game does create
Whilst the downcast fans of the losing side
Complain that by bad umpires of victory they were denied
It would be a better idea if each player was given a ball with to play
As there would not be any injuries to players at the end of the day.
