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´
