THE INTERNATIONAL SAILING RESULTS ARE IN

 

The international sailing results are in

The GB took the gold medal once again

While Somalia took a middle-aged couple

Who were on holiday from Colerain

AT THE OLYMPICS THE ROMANIANS

 

At the Olympics the Romanians

Made a clean sweep good and proper

Taking the Gold, Silver and bronze

As well as all the lead and copper

SIX BANNED WHEELCHAIR ATHLETES

Six banned Wheelchair athletes

From the Paralympics team GB

Were found to have tested positive

For WD40

FIFA HAS BEEN INEFFECTUAL

 

FIFA has been ineffectual

In its fight against Racism

In stark contrast with the rise

Of pan European Fascism

Who seem more likely to

Kick football out of Racism

 

HE DIDN’T CUT A DASH

 

He did not in anyway

Cut a dash

His skinny legs

Hung below his shorts

Like two pieces

Of knotted string

And yet he ran

Like a gazelle

I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT I COME

 

I am proud to say that I come

From a mixed race family

My mum was a sprinter

And dad did cross country

BLACK SOX

 

In the 1919 World Series

The Black Sox scandal took place

When the Chicago White Sox

Much to their disgrace

Threw the series

To the Reds of Cincinnati

An event of epic proportions

That will forever live in infamy

BERT TRAUTMANN

 

Goalkeeper Bert Trautmann

Was from a different age

When top flight players

Were not spoilt and pampered

He didn’t live in a mansion

Or have a selection of sports cars

To get to work on match days

From his home in Stockport

To Maine road in Manchester

He had to catch two buses

HE’S AN INSTINCTIVE PLAYER

 

He’s an instinctive player

A natural and prodigious talent

Or so they say, I think its

More by luck than judgment

 

I WAS DRIVING HOME AFTER THE MATCH

 

I was driving home after the match

Listening to the report on the BBC

It was described as a fascinating contest

Which surprised the hell out of me

Far from being an interesting match

It was the most boring thing you could see

IF NANI WAS IN YOUR TEAM

 

If Nani was in your team

Would you enjoy his flare?

Well, I can tell it has its place

But he just shows off to be fair
