Marc O'Brien Poet Rhyme

Looking Through the Glasses Reflecting About the Masses

Someone once published a title “A Tale of Two Cities” 
And tonight’s European football fate seemed to be artistically witty 
Over Anfield the stadium was a fill 
While Paris there was nil 

With Man City Citizens and their gunners getting out of the way 
This sporting presentation had a lot to say 
It was like looking into reflective glasses
Challenging the accepted belief of playing to the masses 

When things were half done 
The spectacle still looked like fun 
With the French taking control with two 
Still wearing their blue 

While it was said
On the other channel those in the color red 
Put one in to get out of aggregate debt 
Back to PSG feeling alone 
Playing at home 
With a crowd on the street 
Sending some heat 
Fireworks going off  
Standing tall the French stated ‘we have to get coronavirus caught’ 
In London Liverpool still had it level this only tempted the coronavirus devil 
Another half hour could give the bug more time to show its power 
Time ticking down 
Celebrating could start in the French romantic loving town 
Beat the Germ Men again 
Protecting the image Parisoner’s defend 
As the red masses wish 
Two more periods have been put on the big red list 
Free play for those freezing after the pounds they pay 
Reds drew first blood 
But AM responded by saying ‘you know what’ 
Three in the goal 
And Liverpool went home feeling cold 
They had them in their mist 
Not expecting AM to raise a fist 
This act of self-destruction 
Ended up as the reality instruction 
AM and Paris will head on to the elite eight 
Hoping health care will have their issue straight
