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
