T,N

Two Nil.

I sit and watch the children
playing football in the street.
Look at me, shouts the referee
who runs with two left feet.

I'll get the ball shouts Lee Mac Call
I'll put it in the net.
Two Nil, shouts Bill, as it begins to rain
and everyone gets wet.

The whistle blows at half time
two goals as the ref shouts break for all.
Then in second half pass the ball to Garth
and let him try score a goal.

Your poem makes me see what fun the children are having.

Yes it's a rare site sadly these days. Children would rather strain their eyes and exercise their thumbs. When I was a child I played outside. tv was an hour a day. We knew how to play back then. x
