2018 World Cup

Oh to be in England on a Summers Day Said Shakespeare I think ? I must confess I can't ever remember an Indian Summer As Sun kissed as this The garden grass has turned crisp brown The tree's are shedding And the flowers are wilting in the bathing heat And i have had to double my hayfever medication To placate the skyrocketing pollen rates But you will never hear me complain For me this is pure bliss Reminds me of the pleasure of one's first kiss My ailments seem cured My eyes are alive to new possibility I am at 1 with the mid-day sun gods On the celestial equinox Oh to be in England on a summers day To witness a red rose Dressed up in the afterglow Dancing for pleasure Sat out in the garden Drink of choice in hand Waiting for dusk to land I can not think of anywhere else I would rather be The World Cup is on T.V And England are through to the 2nd round With 1 game to spare Dare to dream If this summer is anything to go by Stranger things have happened Like the Moon landings If it can be sunny for this long in rainy dour England Then let us all make hey while the sun shines And maybe just maybe You never know This may be our time shine And we could finally put to bed The memory of 1966 3 Lion's on our Shirt Come on England Oh to be in England on a World Cup Summers Day
