Football Fever
Football fever
World Cup Brazil;
Too many overnights breached
Imagine a world
Glued to football mania;
Morning red eyes syndrome
Now you've seen it all
Germany's got the gold;
Back to normal routines
Even my wife's up
Watching the final match;
TV and sleepy eyes
If only something
More tangible...
Can heal the world
Competitive sports
Winning smiles collect;
Losing tears regret
Bedtime at dawn
Wake up mid-afternoon;
Schedule gains off-side
Peace for now
Until the next World Cup;
Life minus football fever!
Just for a sporting change
For a short while,
Unruly world celebrates
In-between hostilities
Dazzling football magic;
Memorable milestones
In my dreams
Football in the net;
Goalkeeper dazed
