Nick Trim Poet Rhyme

3 Lions Cheated

I remember 
Campbell had scored 
'98 and 04'
would have beat Portugal 
or the Argies before,

and then Lampard's was cruel 
would have made it 2 all 
but the goal's over ruled
finished 1 goal to 4

Maradona's hand ball 
later scoring once more,
Penalties were not scored
England beaten by draws 

90 was the first 
96 still hurts 
98 was the third 
knocked out unbeaten 
then 06 and 04 
penalties, Portugal, 
losing 5 games through draws
could have been so much more 
we were unbeatable 


and I remember 
Beckham v Greece 
beating German's was sweet 
oh that 5-1 defeat 
and thrashing Holland 

3 Lions on a shirt 
England still believing 
5 decades of hurt 
but soon we'll be unbeaten
 
Paris, Berlin, Madrid and Rome 
surely football's coming home
