Jo Hayton Poet Rhyme

They Think Its All Over...

I got his love
Now I run with it
Defenders are at my door

I bring out all my moves
To trick them and dodge
Hoping to score once more

One tackle too late
In the game
I know I could lose it all

So its time to adapt
Do I play it wide to be safe
Or do I take that fall

At least the fall
Would give me time
A penalty kick could save me grace

But if I take the foul
I could be on my way to the bench
Someone else will take my place

So I pat my brow
Vow to battle on
Kick the ball out of view

I run past the defenders
Just to gain a cross
I strike, I score

I get you.....!!!
