It’s not war, it’s not…..it’s football
It’s beautiful
Creative, deceptive
It’s why we watch
Adrenalin pumping testosterone fuelled
Machismo maybe
But watch

The flags flying…do they fly for you?
Or for me
Creation deception
Do you watch them
Or read the tabloids and believe
What they say

Or stand up, and sing
For England
Or France
Or …….
Whoever

But watch the flags fly on the final day
Watch the game even
Twenty two garlanded warriors
Pitted, fighting and desperate to win

And after?
It’s back to the Chablis.
