Brian Strand Poet Light Verse

Ellen White

an English striker
                        named White
into France 2019
          had the goal always in sight
left foot or right
    her golden boot
       from all angles
could shoot
with skill not chance
              or luck
this latest world famous
               Aylesbury duck
