Football

Zillion supporters screaming, a loud buzz, Yearning to return home cheered by victory. Xerox machines preparing the next day’s papers; Max Wit for the shame or fame of a member of the show. Violent vitriol from commentators like engine rev Unites with supporters’ glee at likes of Eto’o or Kanu To spur skill at each minute to get even one stunning stunt Spirits soar, sink, so it is, for here serenity bores. Roulette, lifté, counter-attack by one party raising the roar. Quick kick! Oh no! Replay?! Why not? That must join the FAQ Pray the corner kick slays the opponent; oh that header was sharp! Oh he missed that goal again! No replay?! Hell no! No! Now he’s channeled that ball too late for the man, May the coach coach correctly and call him to quit the team! Leave the pitch you little loss-bringing imp! LOL! Khaki-wearing “messer” I can even get your reek! Just as our jests are about to milk out laughs, I couldn’t find a word to end with “J”. Instead I had a whole lot of them J-starting words. So I Hunched to think, but then looked up at the BROOHAH: GOAL GOAL!! Oops the scorer is the "Mr. Bug"! Fooled? No, I’m still for him leaving,( Scoring oaf!) Even though this elation, release and joy, came from his device! Defensive tactics, offensive backing up, I can almost get mad ‘Cos the best defense is attack Doc! Bye losers, we took this easy. Supporters bob Away, and the whole stadium sleeps in the starlight bathed by mother Luna. (c) Nyonglema
