Ode To the World Cup

The world has discovered it's coveted holy grail To Jules Rimet we honour let the football feast set sail. Countries unite and teams take flight to a designated host nation Little kids feed off this passion they tune-in with eager motivation. Anticipation even before any ball is kicked or flicked Back pages with fake news has our minds playing tricks. Will he start will he not toys yanked from the cot What's more at least we are entertained somewhat. It takes us away from the 9-5 the same old mundane Propels us into a four year galaxy the game beautifully insane. From the old to the young the whole world will celebrate Sole-stomping satisfaction our diverse planet will vibrate. There will be scandals, errors, misdemeanours all documented There will amazing goals, tricks, bad refereeing decisions all commentated. What a beautiful notion thought of by that man Mr. Rimet Implanting the WC in our lives from 1930 to present day.
