What are we doing while our football rests Partying perhaps, with several guests , Personally I find this time a real bore But you´ll not find me out on the floor, Much as I might want to, my ageing knees Won´t allow for such gay frivolities , Walking the hound keeps me both fit and well And his company casts a soothing spell, As now, a job I don´t have to go to Our constitutionals just have to do, But when the weather is inclement here To indoor activities we repair , Designing golf courses when our walk´s done Then playing them afterwards is good fun, Not in the flesh anymore I´m afraid Though in my youth ´twas a game that I played, But on a pc game entitled ´Links´ Where there can still be plenty of high jinks , Reading and writing then writing some more Verses on football things, both good and poor, Is such an integral part of my day Which, when it´s missing, turns blue skies to grey, And Internationals, although still the game Just never have so inspired me the same, So this interminable ´break for rain´ Cannot end soon enough, to ease the pain , And yes, I know, there´s one more yet to come But after that, we´ll all have a clear run , And the fact that the next two that we meet Are two of those that I´d most like to beat , Doesn´t help all the waiting move along But very soon it´ll be, ´bring ´em on´ .

You should have gone to Danny Power and put a bet on Paddy Welbeck scoring a hat-trick, I reckon the odds would have been far better.
