SPORTING COURAGE

 

I’m a very courageous

Sportsman, basically

As it takes a lot of balls

To play Golf like me

NO MORE JIG OF JOY

 

Norbert Peter Stiles

18th May 1942 – 30th October 2020 

 

Norbert Peter Stiles

Was his given name

A diminutive figure

But a giant in the game

Fearless on the pitch

Fearsome and ferocious

But away from the game

Gentle and humorous

I remember fondly

England’s greatest day

And I remember Nobby

At the end of play

With his spindly legs

And gap-toothed smile

Because no one danced

Like our Nobby Stiles

A GOOD EXERCISE

 

Exercise is a good thing

Pushing your body physically

It can take many forms

I like cycling particularly

I like golf and swimming

I like long walks, especially

When they are taken by

People who annoy me

MANCHESTER UNITED’S UNDERGROUND HEATING

 

Manchester United’s underground

Heating hasn’t been restored

So they’re planning to rename

The stadium Cold Trafford

TOTTENHAM HOTSPURS EMBLEM

 

Tottenham Hotspurs emblem

Is a cockerel that the fans don

And as the emblem is a bird

The supporters egg them on

A STRIKER AND A MAGICIAN

 

A striker and a magician

Clearly have in common

An almost instinctive ability

To do hat tricks effectively

ONE OF MY TEACHERS IS A RUNNER

One of my teachers is a runner

He does it fanatically

But I don’t have him for PE

I have him for Jog-raphy

I LOVE IT WHEN WE BEAT THE AUSSIES

 

I love it when we beat the Aussies

It’s a bit of a passion of mine

Because they are such bad losers

I’m way up on cloud nine

I like to ask them, “Would you like

Some cheese with that whine?”

WHEN I SAW MR MESSI PLAY

 

When I saw Mr Messi play

I was disappointed I must say

I had to take a second look

But he was nothing like in the book

MY BOSS DOESN’T GO TO THE GYM

 

My Boss doesn’t go to the gym

But it’s not a case of him being slack  

He gets all the exercise he needs

Just by stabbing people in the back


SUAREZ IS TOTALLY SCREWED – BRAZIL 2014

 

Now the evidence is viewed

And the enquiry will conclude

That Suarez is totally screwed

But what I think is rude

Is that he plays with his food
