An affair between a Sportscaster
And my wife was my
suspicion
And when I found them,
they were
In the commentary position

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
I HAVE BEEN A KEEN SPORTS FAN
I have been a keen sports fan
For as long as I can
remember
And my father, since
boyhood,
Is an even bigger fan
than me
Having said that,
there is an event
That has frankly
always puzzled us
And that is the
University Boat Race,
Which takes place on
the Thames,
Between two coxed
eight crews
So not the most
thrilling event
But that’s not the
puzzling part
What puzzle’s us is
the participants
As it’s always Oxford
and Cambridge
So how do they always
get to the final?
JOHN MCENROE ONCE SAID
John McEnroe once said,
And I completely
agree,
That “The older we get
The better we used to
be”
SPORTING COURAGE
I’m a very courageous
Sportsman, basically
As it takes a lot of
balls
To play Golf like me
WE WERE PLAYING CHESS IN THE PARK
We were playing chess in the park
And I heard my
opponent saying
“Let’s make this more
interesting”
So, we agreed to stop
playing
TIME IS UP
To my chest my hands I clasp
I deeply breathe, I wheeze and gasp
My temples throb, my mouth is dry
My heart beats fast, I’m going to die
My voice has gone, my throat is sore
My hands both shake, I can take no more
I lay my head, upon my knee
Now blow the whistle Referee
CAR FOOTBALL IS A THING
Car Football is actually a thing
If not to everyone’s desire
Nonetheless the car was in
The dressing room, changing attire
WHEN I FIRST GOT INTO ATHLETICS
When I first got into athletics
A hurdle scared me a bit
But with dogged perseverance
I managed to get over it
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TEA BAG
The difference between a tea bag
And Woking Football
Club
Is a simple one to
discover
A tea bag stays longer
in the cup
