Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Chasing the Dream

France is the stage for the drama to come
   Victory for others and defeat for some
   Chasing the dream to be number one
 As up and down the field they run

 The "Matildas" got a much needed win
    After defeating Brazil three to two
    They will play today, an when the match begins
 They are hoping the 'Reggae Girlz' dont give them the blues

 Brazil will battle Italy in a do or die
    A loss may bring them to tears
    As samba rhythms rise to the sky
  Victory could be theirs if they dare

 The World Cup trophy is the most prized of all
   In a game most call football
   This month, the women will give it a whirl
 To see who will be crowned queens of the world!
